The State of UWB in 2022
7 Trends that shape the RTLS landscape
Trend #2 Global regulations enable worldwide coverage
The clear definitions from the IEE802.15.4 standard specify three frequency bands, yielding 16 radio channels in total. Regulation has followed and every country’s regional regulatory authorities define which of these bands can or cannot be used geographically, resulting in well-defined UWB regulations. The new generation of UWB chipsets allows new regions, such as Japan, to be covered with the same technology. Today the situation is clear and fixed in all the principal geographies, while in some smaller countries, it is evolving rapidly and converging with existing local regulations.
Instances like the UWB Alliance also help to support UWB adoption by actively lobbying to make outdoor UWB regulations more flexible.
The concern with UWB could be that the signal occupies such a wide bandwidth (500 MHz to 1300 MHz as defined in the IEEE802.15.4 standard) that the potential of interference with other wireless communication technologies occupying the same spectrum becomes real. This is unfounded since the power levels for UWB transmission are extremely low compared to the potentially impacted services. UWB has also developed a number of mitigation strategies that regulators have adopted to avoid interference.
