UWB
A short-range wireless communication technology that transmits data by sending extremely short pulses on the order of nanoseconds, occupying a very wide frequency band of more than 500 MHz. It uses time of flight (ToF) to achieve centimeter-level ranging and spatial awareness.
Timeline (last 90 days)
In the smart door lock scenario, the core value of UWB lies in determining whether the user is truly approaching the door or merely passing nearby; Bluetooth solutions are prone to false triggers, whereas UWB can set a more precise unlock distance threshold.
Among this batch of Apple Home devices, the smart lock is a smart lock that supports UWB (Ultra-Wideband), enabling automatic unlocking when approaching, and also supports PIN code entry.
UWB is a short-range wireless communication technology that transmits data by sending extremely short nanosecond-level pulses, occupying a frequency band usually exceeding 500MHz, and calculates distance by measuring the round-trip time (ToF) of radio waves, with accuracy reaching the centimeter level.
For a UWB door lock to deliver its full functionality, the phone side usually also needs to have a UWB chip, which means the user experience may be limited for non-Apple devices or older models.
In Lost Mode, Find My combined with UWB ultra-wideband enables precise close-range finding within a few meters, guiding users to locate the item.
The AirPods 5 does not feature an Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip, and therefore does not support Precision Finding with directional guidance
UWB is based on the IEEE 802.15.4z standard, uses time-of-flight measurement with ultra-short pulse radio signals for ranging, and can achieve three-dimensional spatial positioning accuracy within 10 centimeters at short distances.
Apple introduced UWB (Ultra-Wideband) technology to Find My in 2021, enabling centimeter-level spatial awareness between supported devices.
