The European Commission said Wednesday that European markets must be open to Ultra-wideband (UWB) over the next six months. All 27 states of the European Union are on the same time table. Products destined for the EU will have to make due with less frequencies than those of us here in the US will see UWB products on though. The US has approved UWB to operate with flat power levels on a continuous frequency band from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. EU UWB users will be limited to a tighter frequency spectrum meaning UWB products designed to operate in the US will not be able to be imported into the EU. The commission says they instituted this fixed time frame to help prevent consumers from illegally importing non-approved UWB devices into the EU. This move early in the game will most likely mean those of us here in the States will only see UWB devices that use the same spectrum that the EU is allowing so device makers don’t have to make different versions for each side of the pond.
