Buildings and vehicles require accurate location awareness, secure access control, and reliable tracking.
Common wireless technologies often struggle with these tasks, especially when high precision or robustness is needed. Ultra-WideBand (UWB) overcomes these limitations by enabling centimetre-level ranging and secure, interference-resistant communication. This makes UWB a strong fit for applications in which location accuracy and stability are essential.
Holst Centre works with imec’s UWB technology to provide high-precision micro-location solutions.
These systems combine UWB radio design with advanced algorithms to achieve accurate ranging in challenging indoor and industrial settings. Imec’s UWB transceiver technology delivers precise time-of-flight measurements, very low power consumption, and strong resilience to multipath environments. Our work focuses on integrating these capabilities into compact modules suitable for mobility and industrial use.
