Wireless USB group finishes 1.0 specification
Stephen Lawson (IDG News Service) writes in InfoWorld:
A cable-free version of USB (Universal Serial Bus) took a big step forward on Tuesday with the completion of the Wireless USB 1.0 specification, but there is still some work to be done and questions remain about its prospects for widespread adoption.
The specification was created by the Wireless USB Promoter Group, a league of seven vendors that includes the heavyweights of the PC universe: Intel and Microsoft. The group has now handed over management of the standard to the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), the governing body for all USB specifications, said Jeff Ravencraft, chairman and president of the Wireless USB Promoter Group. Testing for compliance and interoperability should begin by the end of this quarter in a lab being set up at Intel, he said. The group is aiming for the plug-and-play simplicity of the current wired USB and will certify all products for interoperability before it allows a Wireless USB logo on the packaging, he said.
