USB-IF Certifies 6 USB Wireless Devices

According to DailyTech, the USB Implementers Forum has just certified six wireless USB 1.0 products, which include the Dell Inspiron 1720, Lenovo T61/T61p and D-Link’s DUB-2240 wireless hub. What does this mean to you? Not much, unless you plan to own one or more of the products here. It does mean that more wireless USB products are on their way. I’d be interested to know what kind of power draw they have, when compared to other wireless methods.

Products that comply with the Wireless USB 1.0 standard will feature a “Certified Wireless USB” logo on the product packaging — this is similar to the “Hi-Speed USB” logo featured on standard-issue USB 2.0 compliant hardware. Wireless USB 1.0 provides data rates of up 480Mb/sec at a distance of three meters. At 10 meters, the speed drops to just 110Mb/sec.
