Pulse~LINK, in a battle with the incompatible WiMedia standard for a defacto Ultra Wideband (UWB) communications standard, announced today that its recently released CWave UWB chipset is the fastest UWB solution and is well positioned to emerge as the 21st century architecture for full-home multimedia connectivity.
The independent UWB test results (pdf), published in this week’s EE Times and Wireless Net DesignLine, were conducted by octoScope, and showed CWave’s 1.35 Gbps over-the-air signaling rate, delivering 890 Mbps application layer throughput. CWave performance was 15 to 20 times greater than all other wireless UWB products measured in the test, the best of which peaked at around 50 Mbps at close range, says the company.
“We can truly say that we currently have the fastest commercially available wireless networking chipset on the planet,” states John Santhoff, Pulse~LINK Founder and CTO. “The peak measured application layer throughput of 890Mbps represents an unprecedented breakthrough in wireless communications, not just UWB.”
CWave chips support simultaneous operation of 1394, Gigabit Ethernet, and HDMI over coax and wireless connections.
Wireless USB and Cable Free USB are battling for a defacto standard in Ultra Wideband. Wireless USB is based on the WiMedia Alliance’s Ultra-WideBand platform and backed by many industry heavyweights such as Intel, while incompatible Cable Free USB is primarily backed by Pulse~LINK.
