Ultrawideband is emerging as a low-power, high-bitrate, long-range alternative to Bluetooth, a technology that's been teetering on the brink of collapsing under the weight of its own hype forever.

The impression that UWB is going to deal Bluetooth the final blow was intensified this week in meetings in Dallas, at which major manufacturers -- among them Intel and Sony -- were considering which technology of those submitted to them by leading wireless communication companies to settle on as the new standard to compete, and possibly knock out, Bluetooth. One technology has caught everyone's eye -- UWB. WPANs create wireless connections in the home over short distances, which allow for synchronization among PDAs, computers, television sets, cable TV box, etc. Allied Business Intelligence estimates that the winning technology behind the standard, to be designated 802.15.3a, will likely generate $1.39 billion in revenue by 2007. The IEEE will not make its decision until June at the earliest, but there is a consensus that UWB has emerged as the clear winner from this week's meetings: The technology was used by 95 percent of the proposals submitted, according to Ben Manny, an Intel director of wireless technology development.

UWB is simpler, cheaper, less power-hungry, and 100 times faster than Bluetooth (currently the leading WPAN technology), adopted by makers of cell phones and PDAs, as well as by companies such as Microsoft and Apple Computer.

Intel Corp. has reportedly moved introduction of its platforms and processors supporting higher-speed processor system bus from the third quarter into the fourth quarter of this year. If the information is correct, the decision continues the raw of Intel’s products delays.

3.43GHz Gallatin Canned

A report over AnandTech web-site claims that Intel will release its i925XE core-logic along with Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.73GHz processors by the second week of October, 2004. The setback fits into the sequence of Intel’s issues with products postponements criticized by the company’s CEO Craig Barrett recently.

Originally it was said that the company will release its 3.43GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition chip along with i925XE core-logic in Q3 2004, presumably in August. The chip was rumored to be a yet another overclocked 0.13 micron product with 2MB of L3 cache and 1066MHz Quad Pumped Bus. In October, however, it is reported that the chip will be made using more advanced 90nm fabrication technology and will feature Prescott architecture.

Intel Buys into Bluetooth

Intel Buys into Bluetooth 11/10/2003 10:54 PM
Intel bought Mobilian, a Hillsboro, Oregon chip maker: The acquisition will allow Intel to integrate Bluetooth into 802.11b chips. Mobilian's combined 802.11b/Bluetooth chip is designed for cell phones. Intel's processor supported Bluetooth, but didn't offer it. Maybe we'll see more Intel acquisitions as the company plays catch up to its competitors....

Analyst sees Intel technology that uses low-power Bluetooth to signal when Wi-Fi needed (3rd item): Rob Enderle visits Intel Labs and sees what he calls a personal data repeater which combines Bluetooth (low power, short distances, low speed) with Wi-Fi (higher power requirements for longer distances and higher speeds). The implementation he describes is a portable device that relays information from an appliance like a watch or PDA; the implementation sounds rather horsey. More likely, you'd see it used in a cell phone or PDA directly that has (in the future) single chip Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and activates the right circuitry at the right time. It's a clever idea to use the low-power signaling, but it's also possible that a Wi-Fi transceiver with multiple power levels could act in the same capacity....

Far 09/10/2004 10:51 AM
The New York Times reports on the progress and promise of ultrawideband: The technology is still a few years from appearing in a significant way in electronic devices. The standards battle between two competing groups is not to be underestimated though, and could slow the progress even more. Also, Wi-Fi could steal some potential market share because it's already widely used and the chips are inexpensive, even though it's slower than ultrawideband. However, ultrawideband has Bluetooth's struggles working in its favor. If Bluetooth continues to falter, the gap in the market will be a great opportunity....
