Segons el DiarioTI, la Unió Europea està considerant permetre la implementació de la ·UWB· al seu territori.
La ·UWB· ve a ser un Bluetooth avançat que permet la transferència teòrica de dades a centenars de mbps, mentre que Bluetooth només permet la transferència, sempre teòrica, d’un mbps.
Intel comenta diferents utilitats que podria tenir la ·UWB·:
- An office worker could put a mobile PC on a desk and instantly be connected to a printer, scanner and VoIP headset
- All the components for an entire home entertainment center could be set up and connected to each other without a single wire
- A digital camcorder could play a just-recorded video on a friend’s HDTV without anyone having to fiddle with wires
- A portable MP3 player could stream audio to high-quality surround-sound speakers anywhere in the room
- A mobile computer user could wirelessly connect to a digital projector in a conference room to deliver a presentation
- Digital pictures could be transferred to a photo print kiosk for instant printing without the need of a cable
