Subject: Seminar on UWB
Dear industry colleagues,
Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is a new wireless technology developed to transmit
large amounts of data over very short distances. UWB devices are designed to
operate at very low power levels, enabling them in theory, to share spectrum
with traditionally licensed services over a wide range of frequencies
without adverse impact to those services. Potential applications of UWB are
high-speed wireless networking in the workplace or at home, ground
penetrating radar for geological surveys and search and rescue, wall
penetrating imaging in construction, vehicular radar for collision
avoidance, medical imaging, and hand-held communication and measurement
systems.
The Ministry is in the process of preparing an engineering discussion paper
seeking submissions from the industry and stakeholders, on spectrum
allocation and technical standards for UWB devices. In conjuction with this
paper, the Ministry is planning to hold seminars in Auckland and Wellington
to clarify and discuss issues raised. The details of the seminars are given
below:
