Question About Wii U Wireless For Techies

Yeah the UPad signal won't be wireless-n (or b or g) because it could interfere with other wireless-n signals (including the Wii U's own that it will use for connecting to the internet.

The Wii remotes use a bluetooth wavelength don't they? so it'll probably be that (Works from everywhere in my house already... though houses are small in Britain, I don't think I can be more than 7 metres from the Wii without going outside)

Bluetooth works at 2.4, as DECT, but I'm sure that it won't be bluetooth, as it doesn't have enough bandwidth (3.0 uses 802.11 as a high throughput mode, so it isn't per se Bluetooth in this mode)

There is the alternative that is Wireless HDMI (it isn't a standard but various implementations incompatible between them) in the 5, 60 or 190 GHz frequencies, but I don't think they would like to use anything >2.4 GHz, as the range suffers immensely, and the concrete and wooden penetration is almost null on the >5 GHz bands, and really poor on 5 GHz.

There aren't any worldwide free ISM bands under 2.4 GHz with the necessary throughput, so i'm almost sure that it will work in 2.4 GHz.
