Intel vil demonstrere en potentiel Bluetooth-"killer" på Intel Developer Forum. Wireless USB 2.0 kan overføre data med op til 480 Mbit/s trådløst, så længe det foregår inden for 4 meters afstand. Bevæger man sig ud på 10 meters afstand, falder hastigheden til noget lavere, men stadigvæk meget respektable, 110 Mbit/s. Denne form for tråsløs kommunikation vil egne sig til MP3-afspillere, digitale kameraer, og overførsel af filer mellem to pc'ere tæt på hinanden. Wireless USB skulle blive en realitet i computere i løbet af 2005.
According to the information published by different media, Wireless USB will support up to 480Mb/s transfer speed over 4 meters and up to 110Mb/s over 10 meters.
Wireless USB will be based on the multi-band OFDM technology backed by an industry alliance that includes Intel. It also blends in the common UWB radio platform defined by the WiMedia alliance. The UWB and wireless USB specifications are in the early stages of definition. Systems using wireless USB are not expected to ship until sometime in 2005, CommsDesign web-site notes.
