WiMedia Alliance

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

WiMedia Alliance

(WiMedia Alliance, Inc., San Ramon, CA, www.wimedia.org) A membership organization founded in 2002 that is devoted to the development of short-range, ultra-wideband (UWB) transmission. In 2005, the Multiband OFDM Alliance merged with WiMedia Alliance to promote a single standard based on multiband OFDM (MB-OFDM). ECMA has also standardized this technology under ECMA-368 and ECMA-369.

In early 2006, the Alliance performed its first formal interoperability tests of WiMedia products from five vendors. In that same year, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group adopted the specification for its next-generation transmission technology, with products expected in 2008. See UWB and Bluetooth.
