Singapore to Introduce Ultra Wide Band Tech
Singapore is planning a big push with Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology. The article, unfortunately, is very short on details, and basically just says they'll be running some trials, and hope the technology can make "lives simpler, more convenient and more enriching for all." Seems like a reasonable goal. Of course, how long will it be until we see tons of articles wondering if (gasp!) UWB is now a competitor to WiFi or 3G?Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
