Release of First UWB USB Hub Imminent

Belkin has announced that their Cable-Free USB Hub will be released in mid-December. The device employs UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) technology to transmit data from USB devices to your computer. Belkin claims the hub can reach speeds of up to 480MBps at a range of up to 30 feet. The Belkin Cable-Free USB Hub will retail for $200, and will be available in mid-December. Accessing your USB devices over a network would seem to be simpler, especially with the short range of this product, but it’s a good solution if your laptop is your only computer. — Mike Payne
