Ultra Wideband
Ultra Wideband (UWB) is a short-range wireless communication technology that uses very low energy levels for short-range, high-bandwidth communications over a large portion of the radio spectrum. It enables precise real-time location tracking and data transfer by transmitting signals across a wide frequency band, allowing for centimeter-level accuracy in distance and positioning measurements. UWB is distinct from other wireless technologies due to its ability to operate with minimal interference and its high resistance to multipath fading.
Developers should learn UWB for applications requiring precise indoor positioning, secure device-to-device communication, and high-speed data transfer over short distances. It is particularly valuable in use cases such as asset tracking in warehouses, keyless entry systems for vehicles and buildings, and augmented reality experiences where accurate spatial awareness is critical. UWB's low power consumption and high accuracy make it ideal for IoT devices, smart home automation, and secure payment systems.
