越来越多的日常数字设备,包括智能手机、门锁,甚至最新的汽车,现在都使用一种称为空间感知的无线功能。具有空间感知功能的数字设备可以了解它相对于其他设备的位置,然后对这些设备的位置变化做出响应。空间感知功能使我们——这些数字设备的用户们,可以更轻松地度过每一天。

Qorvo's UWB Solutions Interoperable with Apple's U1 Chip for Ultra-Wideband Enabled Experiences

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.

A growing number of everyday digital devices, including things like smartphones, door locks, and even the latest cars, now use a wireless feature called spatial awareness. A spatially aware digital device can understand where it is in relation to other devices, and then respond to changes in the positioning of those devices. Spatial awareness makes it easier for us, the users of digital devices, to move through our days.

工业企业在生产制造过程中天然伴随着安全隐患,无论是采掘型、合成型、分解型、调制型还是装配型,安全问题都是工业企业要处理的重点问题。在所有的工业企业中,电厂、化工厂、煤矿因其独特的生产性质导致危险系数高于其他类型企业。近几年随着科学技术的发展,运用UWB定位技术解决工作现场人员安全、设备安全问题是企业安全管控的有效手段。
In this paper we present an overview on the development and standardization of ultra-wideband systems, technical aspects of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, and improvements made by the 802.15.4z amendment. We also explain the basic workings of a physical access system, the desired seamless access experience and how ultra-wideband technology can enable it. In addition, we briefly compare ultra-wideband to facial recognition access systems. We conclude by mentioning how ultra-wideband technology may extend to other related applications.

UWB Use Cases

Sunday, 20 December 2020

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!

Imagine a world that’s all about you and what you want. A world that anticipates your needs and simplifies your life, without making you sacrifice privacy or security.
