Qorvo, a leading provider of innovative RF solutions that connect the world announced the interoperability of its DW3000 family of products with the Apple U1 chip used in iPhone and Apple Watch models and the new Nearby Interaction protocol specification draft unveiled at the 2021 Worldwide Developers Conference. This compatibility will enable developers to easily evaluate new app experiences based on location, distance, and direction relative to a U1-equipped iPhone or Apple Watch. The DW3000 is Qorvo's next-generation ultra-wideband (UWB) chipset family and is ramping into full production in four variants, along with several modules and beta development kits.
Qorvo’s cutting-edge ultra-wideband (UWB) products add key location functionality to existing applications and unleash a completely new class of emerging location-based products and services.
Qorvo’s UWB products are available as ICs or modules (with or without a microcontroller). We also have development kits that allow you to explore the possibilities with ultra-wideband.
Have you ever dreamed of having your front door automatically unlock as you approach? Or wished your house would anticipate your needs and set-up the lights and your TV as you sit on your sofa? Or maybe you want to precisely locate critical health monitoring equipment as you join your shift at the hospital. We are excited to let you know that UWB’s unique fine-ranging capabilities are making these previously impossible applications a reality!
Compelling new experiences benefiting users, combined with the development of an open and interoperable ecosystem, is driving rapid and widespread adoption of UWB across multiple markets and applications.
The (r)evolution has started and UWB will soon be at the heart of our daily lives!
