We all know the frequently used technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 5G. Now is the time to learn about a new wireless technology used by Apple on new iPhone models.
The new generation of wireless communication technology, called Ultra Broadband (UWB) , has already started to be used in the new iPhone 11 series.
This new technology allows devices, just like Bluetooth, to communicate with each other.
However, UWB has a very precise positioning feature by calculating the travel time of radio waves between devices.
The new technology makes locating nearby devices very precise, making data transfer faster and easier.
UWB technology has the ability to precisely determine the direction of the devices used. For example, if you want to send a file to one of the more than one iPhone in a room with AirDrop, just turn your phone in that direction.
Satellite-based GPS is particularly successful in locating on the map. However, it is not useful enough for sensitive location determination indoors. UWB technology, on the other hand, can detect very precise location even indoors.
With this technology, it is possible to communicate quickly with the devices around you. For example, when you go to your car in the future, imagine that your car instantly recognizes your phone and the doors open automatically. When you get out of the car, imagine that you are no longer in the car and the doors are closed.
All these innovations will be realized with UWB technology. To summarize, the smart devices in your home will be in constant interaction with you, step by step, even while walking around the house.
Bluetooth based location sensing technologies need about 2 seconds to accurately detect your location. UWB is about a thousand times faster than other technologies in locating .
