Markets & Applications
Companies are adding more intelligence into their products and facilities to make businesses more efficient, workplaces safer, and services and solutions more innovative and valuable.
True intelligent services require real-time data across three vectors: what (actions), when (time) and where (location). But existing technology cannot accurately and reliably provide location information, especially indoors.
Qorvo UWB technology can provide the key missing element – accurate, reliable, real-time location of people and assets, both indoors and outdoors.
Delivering the "Where" to Key Markets
We deliver the "where" to enable: contextual decision making, reduced operating costs, increased safety, and greater security for data communication and assets.

Mobile
Having UWB technology in your smartphone enables many new possibilities. Some of these include being able to access your car without a key fob, making your purchases more secure and being able to easily find items that you misplaced. Also, with a UWB-enabled smartphone, you can locate your family and friends in crowded areas and enjoy seamless home automation.
