So far, UWB has only been found in very expensive smartphones, but we can look forward to the future with this technology.
UWB stands for Ultra Wideband, which is already in some top smartphones. We can find UWB, for example, in Google’s Pro smartphones and also in Apple’s iPhones or Samsung’s Galaxy S series. However, UWB is still rarely used, for example for digital car keys at BMW or Apple AirTag.
But trade fairs around the world have proven time and time again how UWB can be extremely practical in other everyday situations. This includes pinpoint indoor navigation, which will thus be possible. Thanks to the cleverly placed UWB elements, you can locate the location very precisely using a smartphone, even without GPS.
Devices create “awareness” of each other
It is practical for trade fairs, airports, etc Devices know their distance and location of each other via UWB It even makes it possible to use a smartphone to automatically control the smart home device with virtual remote control that you point the cell phone at or which room you are in at the moment.
At CES 2023, UWB was demonstrated again, for example by German Pinpoint GmbH. It’s also about indoor navigation.
Xiaomi recently introduced a variant of UWB for home use. The Xiaomi 13 smartphone includes UWB, primarily for digital car keys as well.
