With at least two offerings of Certified Wireless USB hubs that provide only a fragile dongle as a DWA, laptop users maybe hoping for someone to come up with a WUSB card that fits snugly into their spared CardBus slot. Their wish is granted, sorta. Ratoc's WUSB CardBus solution is shipping only in Japan, and is tailored to satisfy local FCC for operation in between 3.6 and 3.8Ghz waveband. The company claims ExpressCard version will come in 2009, around the same time as PC builders start to ship WUSB-integrated notebooks in mass production. The report also revealed the possibility of sending video signals wirelessly to a regular LCD thru USB. We aren't too sure how practical it is given the early chipset implementations.
