The Wireless USB Promoter Group was formed to create a new wireless extension to USB that combines the speed and security of wired technology with the ease-of-use of wireless technology. Wireless USB personal connectivity is bringing the convenience and mobility of wireless communications to high-speed interconnects for multimedia consumer electronics, PC peripherals and mobile devices. Wireless USB 1.1 will feature improved power efficiency, enhanced association methods for easy first time association of a host and a device and will add UWB upper band support for radio operation at frequencies at 6 GHz and above. The Wireless USB 1.1 revision will continue to deliver the benefits of the original standard including high-speed wireless connectivity, security, and ease-of-use, while maintaining backward compatibility.
