This is a very interesting article I found on pbs.org discussing UWB or Ultra wide band. This technology could be used in wireless networking products in as little as 18-24 months and will initially have speeds somewhere below 100 megabits per second.
“UWB requires ultra-low power, often one ten thousandth as much as a cellphone, and because of that low power it is undetectable by conventional radios, looking to them just like very quiet noise. This is one reason why the FCC is considering allowing UWB as an unlicensed service; it is hard to regulate a signal that can’t be detected and doesn’t interfere. Besides, UWB has important friends — companies like Intel, IBM, Motorola and Texas Instruments — that are committed to making UWB chipsets or have invested in UWB startups.”
