High Bandwidth Wireless Networking
Technology Comparisonune
D'après Pulse-Link
First Generation Pulse~LINK™ UWB technology will create a new market
niche in performance.
A crowded field of competitive technologies exists for wireless
networking technology with transmission distances under 300 feet.
None of the prevalent technologies currently on the drawing boards
offers high bandwidth wireless networking outside of this circle.
Pulse~LINK™ is being engineered to outperform from its earliest
generations.
