re: UWB at Mercy of Regulators anyone who knows anything about security (and I admit I know very little!) should be "concerned" when people talk about inherent security of any physical layer. UWB is probably a "bit hard" to hack right now since no-one has the receiver chips but as soon as we have systems that can be used then the physical layer security will become a myth.

UWB will then need good old technologies like authentication and encryption just like any other boring radio technology (CDMA, TDMA, GSM, 802.11x, Flarion, etc. etc.)

P.S. Corrected error in subject line (oops)
