Experts say it could lead to better connectivity in the future.
As we connect with more devices, being able to connect with accuracy and security becomes more important.
Thats why UWB connectivity is such an important topic of discussion.

“Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is a radio technology similar to Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Wi-Fi.
“UWB provides highly accurate positioning that is also remarkably secure.”
Bursting With Efficiency
One of the biggest positives UWB brings to the table is lower power consumption.

“The transmitter in a UWB system uses very little power compared to other technologies,” Johnson explained.
This efficiency also brings other benefits.
Unfortunately, due to that congestion,Wi-Fi isnt as good as it could or should be.

The downside, though, is UWB has a limited distance.
Still, there are plenty of applications it could be applied to in the future.
Challenges Ahead
As with any new tech, there are some challenges that lay ahead.
“This broad potential combined with strong industry cooperation and focus to achieve interoperability is crucial.
One risk could be that devices capable of UWB cannot work together or understand each other.”
