	Wireless USB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wireless USB (WUSB), from the USB Implementers Forum, is a new short-ranged, high-bandwidth wireless extension to USB intended to combine the speed and security of wired technology with the ease-of-use of wireless technology.
		The Wireless USB Promoter Group was formed in February 2004 to define the Wireless USB specification.
		Other forms of Wireless USB such as those to be offered on the competing UWB technology based on Freescale pulse method are also not approved by the USB Sig or the IEEE.

	Universal Serial Bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wireless USB is a standard being developed to extend the USB standard while maintaining backwards compatibility with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 on the protocol level.
		Wireless USB is intended as a cable-replacement technology, and will use Ultra wideband wireless technology for data rates of up to 480 Mbit/s.
		Wireless USB is well suited to wireless connection of PC centric devices, just as Bluetooth is now widely used for mobile phone centric personal networks (at much lower data rates).

	Wireless USB devices arriving by September - News - Wireless Accessories
		Wireless USB promises help for consumers frustrated with PCs sprouting a profusion of cables linking their PCs with printers, digital cameras, music players and external disk drives, said Jeff Ravencraft, chairman of the USB Implementers Forum and an Intel technology strategist.
		Wireless USB is a different technology, however, and gadget makers are keen to embrace it for its relative simplicity and the fact that it consumes about half the power of 802.11.
		Wireless USB runs at full 480mbps speed only when a device is within about 3 metres of a computer.

	TechOnLine - USB Goes Wireless
		Wireless USB devices use far less power than 802.11 (Wi-Fi) devices, for example, although that's not surprising considering that their maximum range is much less.
		Wireless USB transmissions can easily be intercepted within a 10-meter range, however, so an "association" process is necessary to ensure that a particular Wireless USB device connects only to an intended host.
		A USB cable works equally well in the U.S. and Europe, but wireless spectra are controlled by different regulatory agencies in different countries, so certain frequencies that Wireless USB can use in one country might not be available in another.

	Wireless USB: High Speed Media Networking Without Cables (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Wireless USB is based on the same technology that Plug and Play USB 2.0 networks deploy.
		USB Wireless products and applications will include connecting to several media devices such as a printer, digital camera/digital video camera, digital audio device, security system, video gaming device, etc. The future of wireless USB may include a host of other devices that would benefit from wireless connections.
		The drawback for this is that communication with wireless USB items from remote connections outside of the USB local network will not be possible without other devices that receive an IP driven signal and convert this to the direct connection for the USB bridge.

	bit-tech.net \| Wireless USB by Year End
		Wireless USB took a step forward yesterday when the W-USB Promoters Group announced that the specification was complete, and that devices could be available as soon as year end:
		Essentially an extension of the popular USB 1.1 and 2.0 desktop busses, Wireless USB is designed to be backwards compatible with existing wired USB hardware by adding external adapters.
		This tech has serious mod potential, as I'm sure you'll all agree - It'll give the modder complete flexibility over where USB devices are placed in a case - or anywhere outside, for that matter - with out having to worry over unsightly cables ruining the look.
