Comarch’s involvement in the Ultra-Wideband domain focuses on two main areas:

1. Official Test tools for certification and development

Comarch provides test tools used in the official FiRa consortium certification process. These tools ensure compliance and interoperability for UWB products focused on distance measurement use cases, and are also widely used by engineering teams for debugging and validation purposes. During development process, Comarch designed its own hardware platform with a custom MAC layer implementation and dedicated automated test framework tailored for debugging and certification needs. Currently, nearly all UWB module vendors use Comarch’s test solutions. Comarch FiRa test tools support test cases dedicated for Digital Key 3.0 and Aliro standards. As part of our roadmap, Comarch is now preparing the next generation of certification tools, dedicated to UWB Audio modules and devices.

2. Technical Consulting and development services for the UWB and wireless industries

Beyond certification, Comarch offers development and technical consultancy services to semiconductor companies and OEMs in both audio and industrial markets. We collaborate with module vendors as well as manufacturers developing UWB-enabled end products. Our expertise spans across a wide range of wireless communication protocols, with nearly two decades of experience in the development of advanced embedded systems. UWB represents one of the most dynamic and promising areas in our portfolio today. Comarch have a proven track record of supporting major semiconductor players such as Silicon Labs, Renesas, Packetcraft, and SPARK Microsystems. Comarch continues to be a trusted partner for companies seeking deep protocol-level knowledge and practical engineering capabilities. Our engineering teams are supporting clients’ resources or developing end to end projects on their own.
