Certified Wireless USB devices. Certified Wireless USB is the new wireless extension to USB,
combining the speed and security of wired USB technology with the connivance and ease-of-use of
wireless. Certified Wireless USB supports robust high-speed wireless connectivity by utilizing the
common WiMedia UWB radio platform developed by the WiMedia Alliance. UWB technology offers a
solution for high bandwidth, low cost, and low power consumption. Certified Wireless USB is the first
high-speed wireless personal interconnect technology to meet the needs of multimedia consumer
electronics, PC peripherals, and mobile devices. Certified Wireless USB preserves the functionality of
