Staccato’s ultrawideband chip will find its way into SK Telecom handsets: The UWB product will support the host of WiMedia protocols and standards, some still under development, and allow a handset to communicate via TCP/IP (WiNet), Bluetooth (version 3.0!), and Certified Wireless USB.
This should open tremendous possibilities for a cell phone’s interaction with home electronics—hey, it’s a remote control!—and PCs, allowing simple transfer, simple network access, and other features.
