Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a short-range RF communication technology which enables indoor positioning using a real-time location system with centimeter accuracy. Its main benefits include low latency, robustness, high accuracy at high refresh rates and scalability – even in harsh environments.

In Industry 4.0, UWB is one of the fastest-growing technologies in Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS). Indeed, its reliability and its low sensitivity to potential interference with other wireless systems makes it ideal for industrial environments.

In automotive applications, UWB secures access to the car and enables new use cases.

UWB has gained wide public attention in recent months in the consumer sector as the top-ten smartphone vendors have all embedded the technology into their latest mobile phones. This wide adoption and the introduction of UWB in PC and smart-wearables from top OEMs paves the road to a myriad of location-aware applications.
