So for UWB to work properly, a clear line of sight is extremely necessary. Due to the higher frequency, it can’t travel farther or penetrate obstacles like walls - similar to the 5GHz WiFi band or 5G mobile network. In addition, it consumes much less power than WiFi and Bluetooth standards.

But there are some distinct characteristics of UWB that make it a powerful radio technology.įor instance, UWB uses a broad spectrum of frequencies (much higher than WiFi and Bluetooth in GHz) which translates to significantly higher bandwidth (faster transfer speed). It leverages radio signals to communicate and transfer data between different devices. Just like WiFi and Bluetooth, Ultra Wideband Technology (shortly known as UWB) is a wireless technology.


Here, we are going to discuss all the aspects of Ultra Wideband Technology: from its very definition to the working mechanism.
