TZero closes up shop, UWB all but dead
Posted in: breaking news, BreakingNews, industry, Today's Chili, Wireless
It’s been a slow, painful death, but it’s about time to just pull the white sheet over ultra-wideband and let the wireless standard rest in peace. After Intel pulled its support for UWB and proponent WiQuest shut down late last year, all that the format really had left was TZero. After successfully surviving some legal issues, we thought the company was good to go in fighting a hopeless battle against wireless HD upstart AMIMON. Now, it seems that WHDI (that’s AMIMON’s magic) is free to take the market by storm, but only time will tell if wireless HD is even remotely close to mainstream. In one sense, we’re sad to see competition die, but on the other hand, it’s always good to see fruitless format wars fade away. Don’t be too down on yourself, TZero — it’s not like anyone really had high expectations for you or anything.
