The key to fast wireless networks soon could be within sight.

According to Intel Corp. and others, a new technology, called ultrawideband, will make it much easier to build speedy wireless networks. Offices and homes finally will be able to link their computers and devices without cables.

"Ultrawideband presents a new opportunity for the wireless home market that hasn't existed," said Todd Hanson, analyst at San Jose, Calif., researcher Gartner Dataquest Inc.

But don't expect to see the technology quite yet. It's still a work in progress, and it needs to pass some regulatory hurdles.

Intel, the world's biggest chipmaker, last month quietly hosted a gathering in Portland, Ore., to talk about ways to develop ultrawideband, or UWB. Perfecting the technology could take years.

Intel still has reason to be excited. UWB would transmit data at rates up to 100 times faster than existing standards.
