March 2007 – Ultra-Wideband Platform Published as ISO and IEC Standard – The Ecma International standard for ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, elaborated from the WiMedia UWB Common Radio Platform, has been approved for release as an ISO/ IEC International Standard. The ECMA-368 standard, titled ‘High Rate Ultra-Wideband PHY and MAC Standard’, was approved as ISO/IEC 26907, which specifies a distributed medium access control (MAC) sublayer and a physical layer (PHY) for wireless networks. The PHY and MAC specified in this Ecma standard are compatible to high data rate communications between a diverse set of mobile and fixed electronic devices. In conjunction with this standard, the ECMA-369 standard, titled ‘MAC-PHY Interface for ECMA-368’, was approved as ISO/IEC 26908 and specified the MAC-PHY interface for a high rate, ultra-wideband wireless transceiver.
