Work with the Team behind the Team The UWB Alliance was founded to support the pioneering work we did within IEEE 802.15.4z where we chaired, orchestrated and promoted end-to-end vendor agnostic interoperability building new standards for UWB chips and consumer electronics. We continue our role within 802 to envision and lead the next iterations of UWB PHY and MAC standardization. The .4z standard has become the basis for many other UWB industry interoperability specification efforts (CCC, FiRa and Omlox). Empowering Next Generation UWB 5G IoT The international UWB rulesets are starting an update process in both Europe and the USA - now is a great time to join up and weigh-in with us to collectively define the shape of the next generation rulesets for UWB! The UWB Alliance is proactive in shaping U.S. and International UWB spectrum management and rulemaking. We work to expand the regulatory landscape, spectrum rulesets, and technology to multiply the growth for our members. Committed to Making it all Work Together Evangelizing diversity for the expanding Wireless Multiverse, we work with members and stakeholders to provide thought leadership on strategies to “make it all work together”. With Members Worldwide and Staff located in the USA, UK and Europe, we work internationally to facilitate intelligent spectrum coexistence for next generation UWB-enabled multi-radio wearable and smartphone devices whilst minimizing unwanted interference. UWB Centre of Excellence We provide guidance on band selection and international applicability as well as advocating, developing and publishing UWB market research data providing visibility on the exponential market growth path.

UWB Audio: A New Frontier for High-Performance Wireless Audio

Ultra Wideband enables a new class of wireless audio with ultra-low latency, high reliability, and precise synchronization. As audio applications expand across professional, consumer, and immersive environments, UWB provides performance that traditional wireless technologies cannot consistently deliver.

The UWB Alliance leads global efforts in UWB Audio through standards leadership, regulatory engagement, and technical collaboration. This includes our leadership role in developing the AES X-260 UWB Audio standard and the preparation of a UWB Audio certification program to support interoperable and compliant products worldwide.
