Workshop Background

 

There are MANY options for developing products using high and/or low data rate short range radios.  The alphabet soup of options includes:

 

802.11x, UWB, Wireless USB, 60 GHz PAN, Bluetooth ™, ZigBee ™, Z-Wave, Low Power Radio, and DSRC

Which radio option makes sense for your products?  

 

What are the similarities and differences between these various radio options?

 

What products are being contemplated now, which need changes in these radio options?

 

This is the next in a series of IWPC's Highly Interactive Workshops to address these and many other questions.

 

Workshop Goal

The GOAL of this workshop is to continue the process of bringing the wireless industry supply chain together to explore the needs and available technologies to support all of these various applications and help the chip set, package/module and system developers understand the best combinations of short range radio standards for which applications.
