Qorvo® Ultra-Wideband Helps the World Get Back to Work
05 October 2020 - 11:00PM
Qorvo® (Nasdaq:QRVO), a leading provider of innovative RF solutions
that connect the world, today announced that more than a dozen
device manufacturers are using Qorvo’s Ultra-Wideband (UWB)
technology in proximity awareness applications. UWB, developed for
real-time, highly reliable location sensing, is uniquely capable of
measuring distance to an accuracy of a few centimeters, both
indoors and outdoors.
Industries including healthcare, logistics, electronics,
construction and education are exploring proximity awareness
applications to help employees safely return to the workplace.
These applications use wearable UWB devices to continuously monitor
the distance between employees and track guidelines for social
distancing and contact tracing in some cases. Leading device
manufacturers in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region
are utilizing Qorvo’s UWB technology.
Rayson Zhao, CEO of Tsingoal, a leading Precise Ranging and
Locating solution provider headquartered in Beijing, said, “We are
glad to support companies' back-to-work plans. We have partnered
with Decawave, now Qorvo, since 2013 and have received strong
positive feedback from customers. We have found that our LocalSense
product, based on Qorvo’s UWB technology, offers much better
precision than solutions based on other wireless standards.”
Through Decawave, and now as Qorvo, the company has delivered
more than 8 million UWB chipsets in over 40 different markets.
Solutions suppliers are using Qorvo’s DWM1001C module, which
combines a UWB transceiver with a microcontroller and Bluetooth®
technology. Other companies using Qorvo’s UWB technology for
distance sensing and social distancing workplace applications
include U.S.-based Redpoint and Ubudu in Europe.
Eric Creviston, president of Qorvo Mobile Products, said,
“Proximity awareness is a key safety consideration for many
companies as they reopen. UWB is the clear technology choice for
this application, providing optimum accuracy and supporting
development of compact, low power solutions. We believe that the
adoption of proximity awareness tools will accelerate uptake of UWB
for other workplace applications that need precise location and
distance sensing, including asset tracking and indoor navigation.
Likewise, the technology offers potential use in many other areas,
including mobile devices, automotive, and the smart home.”
