9 Wireless USB Technical Overview Similarities to wired USB Host device topology Up to 127 devices per host Class driver protocol maintained Keep complexity in host to make devices cheap Bandwidth 480 ~3M 110 ~10M Scalable architecture (up to 1Gbps and beyond) Power Management Battery preservation very important PHY: mW for Tx/Rx Security Highly SECURE device association and authentication Low encryption overhead, minimal performance impact Ease of Use Easy install and setup Backwards Compatibility with wired USB software Low device end cost model 9

10 Bringing WUSB to Existing USB Products: Wire Adapter USB 2.0 USB 2.0 Host Wire Adaptor: HWA Could be a simple dongle Device Wire Adapter: DWA 10

11 State of the Art Adapters Wisair 501 / 531 Chipset 480 Mb 8 Bands 11

12 WUSB Certification & Compliance Only WiMedia UWB supported by WUSB WUSB certification, compliance testing, and logo licensing done by USB Implementers Forum Compliance test suites under development now Compliance guarantee compatibility between WUSB devices WiMedia will provide test suite for USB-IF to test for PHY, MAC and WiMedia conformance USB-IF provides one stop compliance testing & certification Un-plug fests planned 12

13 Industry s s First UWB Protocol Analyzer Supporting WiMedia and Wireless USB UWBTracer TM Protocol Analyzer Capture and Display UWB & WUSB Protocol Traffic Reduces Development Time, Accelerates Time-To To-Market 13

14 Microsoft s Participation and Vision Fred Bhesania UWB & WUSB Program Manager Microsoft Corporation

15 Vision: Digital Entertainment Anywhere 15

16 Realizing the Vision 16

17 UWB Protocol Relationships Various technology solutions running over the common platform Wireless USB IP (WiNet*) Other Applications Wireless 1394 Legend High customer interest Low customer interest Items with * are being defined in WiMedia Convergence Layer* Common Ultrawide Band Radio Platform WiMedia UWB MAC* WiMedia UWB Phy* 17

18 Wireless USB Over UWB Vision Early development to support emerging technology Reuse existing class drivers unchanged (except possibly USB ISOC) Minimal changes to existing USB and IP core stack Focus on Ease of use (simple association models) and high security Reduce number of drivers MS has to write/maintain 18

19 IP Over UWB Vision High Speed Peer Networking Ad-hoc (Proximity Meeting Scenarios) File Sharing IP Connected Devices Synchronization A / V Streaming Printing Ethernet cable replacement Primary focus Focus on ease of use High security 19

20 What s Happening in CY06H1 Prototypes for IP and WUSB on same silicon Compliance/Interop testing labs kick into gear CY06H2 High-volume UWB products around holiday season 2006 Windows codenamed Longhorn planned for customers Throughout this period, plenty of opportunity to: Attend industry training events (e.g. Wireless USB Developers Conference in US and Asia) Participate in prototype testing before (un)plugfests start 20

21 Summary Microsoft committed to providing beta drivers to early IHVs for validation purposes Share your product plans and prototype devices with Microsoft to build a solid Go-To-Market plan! 21

22 The WiMedia Relationship Stephen Wood President of WiMedia Intel Corporation

23 The WiMedia Story Too Connected Rat s PCs Wireless Many Are Nests Radios PCs Very Is Are Better Good Are Bad Better Bad IP BT 1394 USB 23

24 The WiMedia Story One WiMedia UWB Radio Supporting Multiple Protocols USB IP BT

25 WiMedia Alliance Objectives Bring together major short range protocols under a single WiMedia UWB radio Maintain a neutral and open forum for establishing requirements, specifications and best practices for the WiMedia Radio Platform Promote and enable the rapid adoption of WiMedia UWB worldwide Promote favorable worldwide spectrum regulations 25

26 WiMedia Who Are We? WiMedia Board Members 26

27 WiMedia Timelines PHY Specification Release Candidate 1.0 to members, in IP review; Estimated delivery: Q MAC Specification Approaching review; Estimated delivery: Q WiMCA Specification Approaching review; Estimated delivery: Q WiNET Specification Approaching review; Estimated delivery: Q Certification & Interoperability Program Testing suites in development for WiMedia- MBOA spec. usage in WUSB & W-1394 applications Testing suites in development for WIP UWB technology stack 27

28 Regulatory Timelines US Done Europe Regulations Expected 1H 06 Likely to be more conservative than the US Asia Regulations Expected 1H 2006 Waiting for the ITU ruling due at end of
