Description

UWB is rich enough to support the transmission of multiple simultaneous streams of highdefinition video, agile and responsive enough to facilitate ad-hoc mesh networking.[*] UWB wants to be the channel via which all the world's newly self-identifying artifacts transact and form spontaneous new connections.
