Abstract:
High performance computing requires high performance connectivity.
Current RF technologies cannot effectively address the requirements of
bandwidth, user density, cost, battery consumption, and range. However,
research and development of ultra-wideband RF (UWB) technologies suggests
that UWB is the technological break-through required to meet the demands
of high performance computing. The discussion will cover the demands of
the market place, an overview of UWB technologies, and the potential to
meet the demand with this radical approach to radio.
