Wherever you look, wireless in all it's forms but especialy short-range, ultra-low power (ULP), is set to explode. The technology will spread far beyond traditional communications and data networking sectors into the consumer, industrial, manufacturing, medical, retail, and service sectors. ULP wireless is set for dramatic growth because it's the enabler for unobstrusive, low maintenance, low cost wireless sensors that can form star or mesh networks. The applications for the sport, wellness, medical, industrial and domestic sectors is only limited by the designers imagination. However, because of it's strict power constraints, ULP is beyond the reach of standards based solutions such as the current versions of Bluetooth or ZigBee.
