Low-cost, low-power wireless gathers steam
This week's InFocus look at low-cost, low-power wireless technologies arrives amid
a burst of innovation-from ad hoc Bluetooth printer connectivity, to cutting-edge
distributed wireless networks and sensors, to extremely lowpower implementations
of ultrawideband radio. Even modulated-magnetic-field schemes are riding the crest
of development and interest.
