Wireless USB: around the corner

While the FireWire format has not evolved for a long time, the USB format is on track for a new major step in its development: the wireless USB is around the corner. It will allow you to connect wirelessly peripheral at the speed of the USB2.
The first compatible devices should arrive for Q3 2006. It will first be printer, digital camera and external HD, but many other peripherals might adopt this new wireless format. As for the standard USB2, the theoretical number of simultaneously connected peripherals to one computer will be 127.
Knowing that the main driving force of the WUSB is Intel, implementation should come quickly, first via USB dongles or extension cards, then directly integrated into the motherboard controllers.
