BLUEtusk software with Ultra-Wideband (UWB)

Open Interface North America, the world's premier silicon-independent Bluetooth solutions provider, unveiled its BLUEtusk software operating with Freescale Semiconductor's Ultra-Wideband (UWB) hardware.

Based on BLUEmagic 3.0, Open Interface North America added support for TCP/IP streams in parallel with the normal Bluetooth HCI channel to create BLUEtusk. This new software can move data equally well over DS-UWB and other high bandwidth PHYs. The demonstration uses commodity HCI-mode Bluetooth devices together with Freescale's direct sequence UWB (DS-UWB) hardware to send data at speeds up to 110Mbps over a Bluetooth wireless link.
