Development of the Worldwide Ultra-Wideband Market and Applications (pre-order)
UWB (Ultra-wideband) was initially introduced to the market in 2000, but was soon replaced by Bluetooth and LoRa technologies. It was not until recently, when Apple adopted this technology in its iPhone 11, that UWB was back in the spotlight. The ability to achieve centimeter-level accuracy and high-precision positioning, coupled with the standardization of this technology, is expected to UWB more widely adopted in industrial, consumer, and automotive electronics applications.
