10 Facts About Wireless USB

Wireless USB was a short-range, high-bandwidth wireless radio communication protocol created by the Wireless USB Promoter Group which intended to increase the availability of general USB-based technologies.

Wireless USB is sometimes abbreviated as "WUSB", although the USB Implementers Forum discouraged this practice and instead prefers to call the technology Certified Wireless USB to distinguish it from the competing UWB standard.

W-Wireless USB was defined as a bus, albeit logical and not physical, which can simultaneously connect a host with a number of peripherals.

Wireless USB was used in game controllers, printers, scanners, digital cameras, portable media players, hard disk drives and USB flash drives.

Every W-Wireless USB transmission is encrypted by the bus layer without impairing layer-to-layer horizontal communication.

WWireless USB architecture allows up to 127 devices to connect directly to a host.

W-Wireless USB devices are categorized in the same way as traditional Wireless USB.

WWireless USB was a protocol promulgated by the Wireless USB Implementers Forum that used WiMedia's UWB radio platform.

The Wireless USB address identifier is a token of the owner's trust.

The result was that the name Certified Wireless USB was adopted to allow consumers to identify which products would be adherent to the standard and would support the correct protocol and data rates.
