109 Using a UWB Device
Using a UWB Device
The Integrated Certified Wireless USB (UWB) module is an optional device available for Fujitsu mobile
computers.
What is Certified Wireless USB?
Certified Wireless USB, is a short range, high bandwidth RF communication protocol that is capable of
sending 480 Mbps at distances up to 3 meters (approximately 10 feet) and 110 Mbps at up to 10 meters
(approximately 33 feet). UWB is designed to operate in the 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz RF band in the United
States.
UWB is not a networking technology; instead it uses the same hub and spoke model used by traditional
wired USB. This architecture is one in which a single host, otherwise known as a hub, manages up to 127
end devices.
Using Certified Wireless USB
Typically, the UWB hub must first be attached to the computer for association before the UWB hub will
be recognized by the UWB module. Please refer to your UWB hub manual for detailed installation
instructions.
The Wireless LAN/UWB/Bluetooth On/Off Switch will power off all of the aforementioned devices
simultaneously. To enable or disable any of the devices individually, perform the following steps:
1
Slide the Wireless LAN/UWB/Bluetooth ON/OFF switch to the ON position (refer to your system User's Guide
if you are unsure of the switch location).
2
In the Control Panel, click the button associated with Bluetooth and/or Wireless LAN Status to enable or disable
the individual devices.
3
Click [OK].
