Ultra-wideband applications for warehousing, automotive and more
Ultra-wideband wireless connection operates implicit a wide frequence spectrum that allows for accelerated information transfers astatine comparatively debased power. The U100 chipset is precise up to single-digit centimeters and nether 5 degrees. This grade of accuracy works good for tracking locations successful indoor environments, specified arsenic warehouses, wherever GPS would not work. It besides has applications for artificial world and virtual world involving real-time tracking of moving people. Its precision comes from 2 large types of tracking: clip of accomplishment and 3D space of arrival.
Samsung’s U100 includes vigor frequency, baseband, embedded Flash representation and powerfulness absorption IP connected 1 chip. A power-saving mode is built successful to maximize the artillery beingness of mobile, automotive oregon tiny IoT devices similar astute tracking tags. Samsung besides included a scrambled timestamp series relation and a unafraid hardware encryption motor successful bid to trim the accidental of outer hacking.

The caller chipset is certified by the FiRa Consortium, an ultra-wideband interoperability enactment of which Samsung is simply a member. It besides conforms to the Car Connectivity Consortium Digital Key Release 3.0 modular for communicating integer cardinal accusation betwixt smartphones and vehicles.

Competition successful the ultra-wideband space
Samsung’s U100 is going head-to-head with Apple’s caller short-range ultra-wideband chip, the U1. Embedded successful commercialized phones, the U1 enables much precise tracking compared to earlier telephone models and helps find mislaid AirTags. Verizon is besides advertizing ultra-wideband connected its 5G phones and a collaboration with Oracle.
