Earlier the SIG had started working on an ultra-wideband (UWB) version of its spec, with the WiMedia Alliance. That project has taken a lower priority as UWB struggles for wider acceptance. The Alliance is disbanding after it to the Bluetooth SIG and to the Wireless USB Implementers Forum.

The Bluetooth SIG has lined up a range of chipmakers who intended to create single chips that integrate both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Those partners will be announced at the 3.0 launch later this month, when SIG members will go into more details about power requirements, application profiles, and the like.
