Pulse Link have been doing this for a while - and they also have a single chipset for wireless, coax, twisted pair and cat5 (which is what I assume is meant by 'ethernet'). They claim (and achieve) similar data rates.

Personally, I've never really seen the point. Why introduce all the complexity and cost of UWB when a few cables (and some well thought-out concealing of those cables) can do the same job?]]>Jun 24th 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/coair-worlds-first-uwb-chipset-with-wireless-coax-and-gigabit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/coair-worlds-first-uwb-chipset-with-wireless-coax-and-gigabit/Jun 24th 2008 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/coair-worlds-first-uwb-chipset-with-wireless-coax-and-gigabit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/coair-worlds-first-uwb-chipset-with-wireless-coax-and-gigabit/Jun 25th 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/coair-worlds-first-uwb-chipset-with-wireless-coax-and-gigabit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/coair-worlds-first-uwb-chipset-with-wireless-coax-and-gigabit/Jun 24th 2008 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/coair-worlds-first-uwb-chipset-with-wireless-coax-and-gigabit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/coair-worlds-first-uwb-chipset-with-wireless-coax-and-gigabit/

Because there were no wires in Star Trek. I hate those "Neat Cabling Jobs" because invariably I need to move something or access something or add hardware or I wanna bring something downstairs or to a friends house and those cabling jobs with the zip ties end up being a pain in the butt. I have 3 PCs on/around my desk and the sheer number of wires is a nightmare.

I'm cool with a power cable for the main rig and screen, but I'd rather have everything else wireless. They even have wireless power systems now, for things like Keyboards, Mice, and Cell Phones. Radiation jokes aside, I'd rather have my phone and bluetooth ear piece get a charge just by making it into the house/car via my pocket rather than forgetting to hook it up and ending up with a dead device when I need it most. Chargers suck.]]>Jun 24th 2008 2:04PM
