UWBA Applauds AES Effort to Develop a UWB Standard for Ultra High-Quality Wireless Audio
Chaired by the UWB Alliance’s Jackie Green, the Audio Engineering Society (AES) held its inaugural meeting on November 13, 2023 to begin developing a new standard for a UWB high-resolution low-latency interface that will strengthen high-quality audio applications.
UWB Alliance Chairs First UWB Workshop at AES New York 2023 Convention
The workshop provided an opportunity to discuss the goals for the recently announced new AES Standards task group, chaired by Jackie Green from the UWB Alliance, charged with developing a new standard for UWB high resolution, low latency audio. The development of this interface standard will facilitate ease of integration and reduce R&D time for product development.
UWB Alliance Presents at Wireless IOT Tomorrow23
At the WIOT Tomorrow23 Conference held October 18-19, 2023, in Wiesbaden, Germany, the UWB Alliance discussed why UWB is the optimal choice for IoT, why UWB is an excellent choice for shared spectrum, and how the UWB Alliance is working on standards that will help expand the adoption of UWB worldwide.
UWB Alliance Presents at 12th Americas Spectrum Management Conference
At the Americas Spectrum Management Conference held October 10-11, 2023, in Washington, D.C., the UWB Alliance discussed how UWB is uniquely designed for spectrum sharing, which is a key area of focus for the National Spectrum Strategy which aims to increase the efficiency and usability of the spectrum.
UWB Alliance Conducts UWB Aggregation and Coexistence Study
The study examines how several wireless technologies operating in an increasingly dense wireless environment interact with each other and themselves. The study shows empirical results of RF and link performance measurements of numerous 802.11ax and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) devices operating in a typical urban office.

SPARK Microsystems Teams with UWB Alliance to Test UWB Coexistence
SPARK Microsystems and UWB Alliance have initiated a joint effort to test the coexistence and aggregation capabilities of UWB technology in environments where other UWB or other wireless protocols and radio devices are in use. The testing will enable the UWB industry to progress forward on collaborative coexistence strategies that optimize spectrum sharing while minimizing interference.

UWB Alliance Presents at the 17th European Spectrum Management Conference
UWB technology is currently the focus of an industry-wide uptake into mainstream consumer technology devices, including smartphones, wearables, smart-speakers, laptops, AR, VR and other entertainment devices, automotive as well as medical and industrial applications.
The UWB Alliance is pleased to be part of the discussion on how to architect a spectrum sharing roadmap for Europe that maximizes the needs of European stakeholders.

October 12th 2021, Tim Harrington, Chairman of UWB Alliance talks with other key panelists on the universal need for Spectrum Sharing at ASMC
With modern technologies continuing to advance the ‘squeeze’ on spectrum is showing no sign of letting up.
Today there is a greater emphasis than ever before on using sharing to evolve and maximise efficiency through co-existence. This is demonstrated in the US by President Biden requesting $39 million be made available in his fiscal budget for 2022 to “…support the development and deployment of broadband and 5G technologies by identifying innovative approaches to spectrum sharing.”
August 5th 2021, UWB Alliance Supports European Regulatory Vision
Significant progress was made in the world of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology in Europe in August with the release of results from the Public Consultation of ECC Report 327, which contains sharing and compatibility studies in preparation for an update of the UWB Rulesets in Europe.
“The industry-wide support received from UWB partners boosts the accelerating adoption of ultra-wideband in the consumer market and paves the way for many new innovative UWB use cases,” commented Tim Harrington, UWB Alliance Chairman. The UWB Alliance has worked in concert with ETSI, national administrations, liaison partners and top consumer electronic companies around the globe and continues to assist in the process.

June 24th 2021 “Ultra-Wideband Enabling New Efficient Possibilities for Multi-Radio Consumer Devices”
Since the release of the iPhone 11 in 2019, UWB has evolved into a Mass-Market Consumer Technology now incorporated into many of the latest models from the largest Smartphone Vendors.
In this session we look at the transformational role Ultra-Wideband is playing in Multi-Radio Ecosystems. We discuss the trend towards mixing UWB with other complimentary radio technologies (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and GPS) and how this opens many new possibilities for greater Spectral Efficiency and Band Re-use.
In the wake of the Smart-Tag releases from many of the same vendors in April this year, we also investigate the growing importance of UWB for GPS augmentation and look at how these devices going to transform our lives in the future.
June 21st 2021, “Technology and Policy Tools to Increase Spectrum Efficiency – what does the future hold?”
Spectrum is of course a finite resource and is hugely sought after. The majority of bands have generally already been allocated, and with the shift to 5G and next generation services, demand and usage is only going to increase.
Ben Rolfe, Chief Technical Officer at UWB Alliance joins other Panel Members to present UWB as a key tool for better spectrum efficiency, reducing duty cycles and lost packets for other complementary technologies.

December 1st 2021, Tim Harrington, Chairman of UWB Alliance discussed upper mid-band (6 GHz) Commercialization at the Wireless Innovation Forum
As part of the recently announced FCC Rulemaking, 850 MHz of spectrum has been made available for standard power unlicensed uses that will be under the control of an Automatic Frequency Coordination (AFC) system.
In the panel discussion, speakers addressed what else would it take to fully commercialize this spectrum, and discussed what other factors must be addressed on the road to commercial availability.
