UWB (Ultra Wide Band) is a cutting-edge wireless technology known for its wide frequency bandwidth. It excels in providing highly accurate location and orientation data in indoor spaces where GPS signals are limited. UWB’s potential spans consumer devices and business applications, with its integration into smartphones, wearables, and indoor infrastructure on the rise.
The Competitive UWB Market
The significance of accurate people and asset location information is evident. While GPS is reliable for outdoor positioning, indoor spaces pose challenges due to limited GPS signals. Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology addresses this by providing precise indoor positioning, replacing Wi-Fi and RFID to enhance efficiency and cut costs. UWB’s wide frequency bandwidth enables accurate spatial data collection, making it valuable for consumer devices, businesses, and indoor infrastructure, with increasing popularity expected in both mass and enterprise markets.
What is the Technology?
Several techniques exist for indoor positioning algorithms, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The following are the most frequently employed algorithms:
Using UWB communication, it calculates distances between devices. While simpler in infrastructure than TDoA, simultaneous calculations are limited, and battery consumption is higher.
UWB locators sync accurately with UWB signals, calculating positions using time differences between locators. it swiftly positions multiple tags and reduces battery use. TWR is simpler, but wasteful
AoA positioning derives UWB signal angles using antenna time differences in a device’s UWB array. This substitutes vector values for locator positions to identify UWB device locations, requiring less infrastructure than TDoA.
UWB, an emerging technology, is being advanced by companies like the FiRa Consortium (Samsung and Apple) for standardized adoption and interoperability. UWB’s precise positioning outperforms BLE and Wi-Fi, paving the way for diverse applications including hands-free access, position-based services, and device interactions, benefiting both consumers and businesses.
