Stefan Mileschin · 10th September 2013, 08:20

The USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) today announced the development of the Media Agnostic (MA) USB specification. The specification is designed to allow wireless devices and docking stations to communicate over the USB protocol, without the need for a physical USB connection. An important design goal of the specification is to achieve wireless gigabit transfer rates while leveraging existing USB infrastructure, present in the form of:

Open application programming interfaces in every major operating system
USB class specifications by USB-IF device working groups
A wealth of open-source/OS specific drivers for USB classes
Vendor-specific device drivers for a multitude of USB vendor-specific devices
