What Is Ultra-Wideband?
Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a radio technology based on the IEEE 802.15.4a and 802.15.4z standards that can enable a more precise measure of the Time of Flight of the radio signal, leading to centimeter accuracy distance/location measurement.
In addition to this unique capability, UWB offers data communication capability up to 27 Mbps, while using extremely little energy – enabling coin cell operation for years without needing to be recharged or replaced. By combining accurate location and communication, UWB also offers a new way of securely communicating over wireless, opening the door to new forms of secure transactions.
