The inclusion of UWB wireless technology means that the connection is capable of transmitting digital video wirelessly, allowing the transmission of baseband video with up to SXGA resolution.
This enables users to stream unencrypted and uncompressed multimedia, such as videos, music and internet-based content.
As with its wired counterparts, UWB allows users to wirelessly connect a notebook to all types of peripherals, such as a monitor, keyboard, speakers, compatible external HDD and optical disk drives.
The technology can help eliminate the hassle of connecting and disconnecting peripherals, and avoids the compatibility problems which have always plagued docking stations.
However, as with similar short range wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, which has notorious compatibility issues, UWB faces its share of challenges particularly as there is still no agreed industry standard for the technology.
