Samsung and Apple Spur Adoption of UWB
The adoption of Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) by the iPhone 11 and 12 series, Apple Watch 6, HomePod mini, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and the Galaxy Flip 2 and China-based Xiaomi have increased adoption and coverage.
Although Apple seems to be uninterested in joining UWB Alliance or FiRa (fine ranging) Consortium but prefers Car Connectivity Consortium in which it is expected to promote addition of UWB technology to digital car keys. Other China-based smartphone vendor’s OPPO and Vivo are expected to adopt UWB technology for their flagship models. NXP Semiconductors, at its NXP Connects 2020 taking place in the Netherlands in October, presented scenarios of applying UWB technology and urged standardization of UWB specifications. STMicroelectronics and US-based semiconductor maker Qorvo have obtained UWB patented technologies via merger acquisition.
