Ultra-wideband (UWB) is presently only legal in the United States. This specification maintains the same usage and architecture as wired USB devices with a high-speed host-to-device connection and connects to a maximum of 127 devices. WUSB is based on a hub and spoke topology. An amendment to the 802.15.3 standard is estimated for first half of 2005. • ZigBee is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard providing control and monitoring capabilities for industrial, residential, and home applications at data throughput rates of 250kbps, 40kbps, and 20kbps. ZigBee offers interoperable global and regional license free frequency operations across multiple channels. • What is the advantage of the ZigBee solution over proprietary solutions?
