Another Milestone

Last week, ultra wideband passed another major milestone with the announcement of the finalization of the WiMedia Alliance's Certification program.  One of the organization's charters is to provide coexistence and interoperability between the different applications and products that use UWB standards and specifications.  And this new certification program goes a long way to helping ensure that interoperability and fuel the growth in adoption of the technology.

As part of the program, the WiMedia Alliance also conducts organized compatibility and interoperability testing for UWB products.  They test both the PHYs (or Physical Layer implementations) as well as the platforms.  Last week, six companies -- including Tzero -- received initial registration of their PHYs, paving the way for the next major milestone of platform certification later this year.
