The wireless version of the universal serial bus (USB). Using ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, wireless USB is designed to provide the same 480 Mbits/sec data rate as USB 2.0 within two meters (6.6 ft.) or 110 Mbps within 10 meters (33 ft.). Although it can be used with desktop computers, wireless USB makes it easy to connect and disconnect USB peripherals from a laptop.

More Than Enough
Wireless USB (WUSB) uses a hub and spoke architecture that provides up to 127 point-to-point connections. The wireless USB Promoter Group was initiated at the Intel Developer Forum in the spring of 2004, consisting of Intel, HP, Microsoft and others. See also wireless USB adapter.
