Wireless technologies

Imagine locating a key, a tool on a factory floor, or a medical device in a hospital with centimetre precision, indoors, in real time, without missing a beat.

Most wireless systems can't deliver that level of accuracy in complex environments. At imec at Holst Centre, we develop the ultra-low-power wireless technologies that make it possible — from Ultra-WideBand positioning and Bluetooth Channel Sounding to the next generation of unified transceivers that bring it all together.

Holst Centre’s contribution

At imec at Holst Centre, we develop the ultra-low-power wireless technologies that make it possible, from Ultra-WideBand positioning and Bluetooth Channel Sounding to the next generation of unified transceivers that bring it all together. Our fourth-generation UWB chip consumes just one-tenth of the power of current state-of-the-art, and as Bluetooth, WiFi and UWB begin to converge, we are already building the single chip that speaks all their languages.
