A demo hosted by Freescale Semiconductor at this week's WiCon Americas event showcased the ability of UWB and Bluetooth to work with each other. Two laptops enabled with a UWB module and Bluetooth dongle were made available for viewers to see what the company claims is a "pure Bluetooth-to-Bluetooth demo" featuring a file transfer between the two devices at a maximum rate of 1Mbits/sec. The UWB radios then utilize use Open Interface's BLUETusk software to leverage the software stack of Bluetooth while operating the Freescale UWB radio which then acheived a rate of 110Mbits/sec.
