The Future of Microlocation

UWB's greatest potential lies in an entirely new generation of microlocation systems. Just as Wi-Fi and GPS paved the way for applications that were previously hard to imagine, UWB will enable experiences and features built on highly accurate position and distance sensing.

Today, people expect to locate almost anything in real time, whatever its size:

• Being guided straight to your car keys when they go missing at home;
• Getting shelf-level navigation to your favourite coffee brand in a grocery store;
• Finding a specific tool in a storage bin on a factory floor;
• As a site manager during an emergency, confirming that everyone has left the building.

In all of these scenarios microlocation helps — it does not just tell you "where" something is, it guides you to where it actually is.
