Spectrum allocations for ultra wide band technology


Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is a new wireless technology developed to transmit large amounts of data over very short distances.  Potential applications of UWB include but are not limited to high-speed wireless networking in the workplace or at home, imaging systems, and anti-collision vehicular radar.


The Ministry released an engineering discussion paper on spectrum allocations for UWB technology on 7 April 2005 for public comment.


To assist with the preparation of submissions, the Ministry also held seminars on 15 April 2005 (Auckland) and on 20 April 2005 (Wellington).


Submissions related to the discussion paper closed on 8 May 2005.
