The number of wireless devices today is vast and growing rapidly. From notebooks to mobile phones to gaming devices and digital cameras to utility meters to medical devices to remote sensors and beyond. A number of new wireless platform and standards designed for low-power, short-range, wireless personal area networks (WPANs) provides these devices with mobility along with other functionalities. Leading technologies such as UWB, ZigBee, WiMedia, Wi-Fi are liberating users from wires, enabling wireless connection of multiple devices for transmission of video, audio and other high-bandwidth data as well as command, sensing and control. Due to its prodigious telecom market and position in the global electronics supply chain, China is now an important groundbreaker for these wireless technologies. What's been the progress for adoption of these technologies in China and around the world? How does these short range technologies complement with WiFi, WiMAX and 3G cellular wide area communications? What are the distinguishing characteristic and features of the different SRW radio technologies? This session is intended for China’s fledging OEM design engineering community and developers of wireless products. It is of benefit to short range wireless networks operators; systems integrators, components suppliers, and vendors of short-range wireless technologies. Other topics for discussion include current issues in SRW; state of SRW market; SRW enduser requirements; SRW standardization effort; system operations; advances in microchips; 60GHz millimeter wave communications, and more.
