''For healthcare, UWB is superior for encryption and meets HIPAA standards for privacy. The FDA has approved UWB for use in the operating room and have recognized that UWB technology satisfies operating room requirements for medical-grade wireless video systems. UWB's lower RF output power allows same channel reuse in adjacent rooms and results in low interference with other signals''
"Although Wi-Fi has a large installed base, Ultra wideband [UWB] is emerging as a serious contender for home networking because of its ability to handle video. In an unprecedented move regulatory agencies worldwide are adopting UWB. For wireless applications, The most demanding of these new applications is video. Uniquely, the availability of broad spectrum in UWB communication provides an unequalled advantage for high-performance, high-capacity video networks."
"Today’s wireless LAN and WPAN technologies cannot meet the needs of tomorrow’s connectivity of such a host of emerging consumer electronic devices that require high bandwidth. A new technology is needed to meet the needs of high-speed WPANs. UWB technology promises to make it easy to create high-speed WPANs that can connect devices throughout the home."
"While Wi-Fi is much faster than Bluetooth Technology, it still does not deliver sufficient performance to effectively allow streaming of multiple simultaneous high-quality video streams. UWB technology provides the throughput required by the next generation of converged devices."
