Ultrawideband (UWB) Technology What is UWB? High speed data technology Broad spectrum (3.1-10.6 GHz) with tight power restriction Theoretical Data Rates vs Distance USB2.0 Feb, 2002 U.S. approval for commercial use standard in development in EU Why is UWB compelling? Speeds greater than 100 Mbps within 10m radius 480 Mbps at 2 meters Great for large file transfers i.e. video 8 UWB is ideally suited for high-speed Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN)
adio Frequency IDentification Designed as replacement for barcodes Small RFID Tag wirelessly sends out bits of data whenever it is triggered by a reader (wirelessly) active and passive tags Power source not required for passive tags a defining benefit Four main frequencies: - but Superior capabilities Non Line of Sight Hi-speed, multiple reads Can read and write to tags Unit specific ID LF HF Frequency 125kHz 13.56MHz Distance Few cm 1m Example Application Auto- Immobilizer Building Access Will be Available Globally UHF µwave ~900MHz 2.4GHz ~7m 10m Supply Chain Traffic Toll 9

RF Safety Standards All new RF based technologies are covered by international RF safety standards Regulatory compliance vary by country but all are subject to meeting standards (ICNIRP, IEEE, etc) reference levels. 16
Lessons Learned Benefits from being second Topic defined Research Community awareness Scientific process: WHO recent review of network deployments found; "From all evidence accumulated so far, no adverse short- or long-term health effects have been shown to occur from the RF signals produced by base stations. Since wireless networks produce generally lower RF signals than base stations, no adverse health effects are expected from exposure to them. WHO Fact Sheet No. 304. 17
Lessons Learned (cont) Corp. stewardship is the paradigm for the wireless industry Monitoring research Work in standards process Regulatory compliance Outreach to community Active involvement by companies and industry organizations that represent the latest new technologies. WiFi Alliance WiMAX Forum 18
Conclusions Many advanced wireless technologies are in place today; more are on the way. They are low-powered, and are designed to operate under the international RF safety limits many operate well under the limits. New technologies, that operate on already well known technical parameters Corp. Stewardship is the paradigm Look to regulators to bring consistent, balanced information to the public 19
