Is UWB-USB standard in X301?

I am looking at X301 (2777CTO) configuration page on Lenovo's website but I don't see any options to include UWB connectivity. Does anyone know if it is standard and inclusive in all X301? Since the UWB half mini-PCI is available as a service part, I thought it would at least be an available option while ordering a system.
Thanks
Parag.

Basically UWB (Ultra wide band) is DEAD...... as Intel have stopped research on it and several manufacturers have shut down......
the UWB option was with T61 I believe, but not anymore.
Personally I think UWB is a wonderful technoledge as it's best option for PAN, with data rate over 200 times faster than Bluetooth & 20 times faster than wi-fi within a distance 10m; however it's not a good timing
you can google more story on it

Thanks, that is interesting to know. Although, I think I am confusing the terms - the X301 HMM refers to part number 42T0975 as "Wireless USB PCI Express Half-Mini Card" while a few (independent) online part stores call it Ultra wideband card.
Perhaps I should treat the HMM as an authoritative source.
