The
Origins of Ultra-Wideband
Technology:
If you have found this website, chances are good that you have
already heard about Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Technology, also known as
nonsinusoidal communication technology, impulse radar,
ground-penetrating radar, impulse radio, baseband pulse
technology, and other designations. To put the field in
perspective and to show the breadth of literature in this area of
research and development, we have assembled the following core
documentation concerning its origins.

802.11x security: Not long ago, when wireless networking was new and rare, security was an afterthought. The reason? The scarcity of 802.11b cards acted as a form of back-handed security. If no one had an 802.11b card, outsiders couldn't very well scan your setup, right? Now, however, that's changed. Wireless gear is readily available--and cheap--so that almost anyone with a PC can afford a Wi-Fi network card, making security more vital.
Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance: WECA's mission is to certify interoperability of Wi-Fi™ (IEEE 802.11) products and to promote Wi-Fi™ as the global wireless LAN standard across all market segments.
