UWB And Bluetooth Wireless Tech to Merge

The pesky thing about those of you who don’t absorb knowledge like BBB is that there are all those annoying acronyms out there. It’s like when you’re not looking they’re fucking like rabbits and producing new acronyms some of which stand for other acronyms! Like Paris Hilton would say (if she was capable of speech) “Its, like, so confusing!”

Well, we have good news for you. Two of your favorite wireless technologies are combining into one:

This week the Bluetooth people adopted UWB as a future fast connection. What not many people have spotted is - the big winner in this could be UWB. Sure, Bluetooth is a slow protocol for headsets, and UWB is, potentially, much much more. But Bluetooth is established. It’s in phones and regulators understand it. If Bluetooth likes UWB, that could really be a major factor to convince the people that are blocking UWB - operators and regulators outside the US - that UWB is safe to use.

If you have no idea what all that meant then you should just give up now. The future is going to be ruled by 13 year-old girls who can text message each other faster than you can speak.
