Major elements driving the growth of the ultra-wideband market include the growing demand for ultra-wideband technology in RTLS applications and the growing adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Ongoing improvements in new application areas of ultra-wideband technology in the wireless sensor network and the growing technology deployment in mobile devices have increased the scope of ultra-wideband technology.

What is Ultra-Wideband Technology?

Ultra-Wideband technology is a radio technology that operates very low energy levels for short-range and high-bandwidth communications across a large portion of the radio spectrum. Ultra-wideband technology is a method of transmitting data across a large bandwidth (>500 MHz). It permits a large amount of signal energy to be transmitted without interrupting with narrowband and carrier wave transmission in the same frequency band. Many nations’ regulatory limits enable this efficient radio bandwidth, allowing wireless connections of high-data-rate personal area network (PAN), longer-range, low-data-rate applications, and transparent radar and imaging systems with current communications systems. Ultra-wideband is useful for real-time location systems, and its high accuracy and low power make it ideal for radio-frequency-sensitive environments such as hospitals.

Growth Drivers

Increasing demand for Ultra-wideband technology in RTLS applications

RTLS is utilized to locate and track assets and people with radio frequency signals in real-time. Ultra-wideband technology and the next-generation BLE beacon technology are likely to increase the demand by the providers of RTLS solutions and asset tracking systems during the forecast period. In RTLS applications, ultra-wideband technology is preferred over other wireless technologies because of its benefits, such as positively precise measurement accuracy, improved target recognition, and ease of deployment. Ultra-wideband powered RTLS solutions operate in a large bandwidth spectrum, normally greater than 500 MHz and are characterized by high accuracy. The use of ultra-wideband technology-based RTLS solutions in the manufacturing plants helps stakeholders make timely decisions enhance productivity, decrease waste, and effective asset utilization.

Opportunities

New application areas of Ultra-wideband technology in wireless sensor network

A wireless sensor network is an ad hoc network created for areas where wiring and power supply are hard to achieve. Over the years, wireless sensor network has earned significant attention in the military, transportation, and different industries. The conventional carrier-based wireless communication technologies cannot satisfy the requirements for low power consumption, lower cost, user-friendly design, and interference immunity. Therefore, researchers are attracted to ultra-wideband technology due to its quality of short pulses. The use of carrier-less short pulses in ultra-wideband, which delivers effective and reasonable transmission in the wireless sensor network, has advantages over other carrier-based communication technologies. The benefits of ultra-wideband technology-based solutions in terms of cost, size, and power consumption fulfill the needs of the microsensor node used in the wireless sensor network. Moreover, its ability for high data transmission in a short distance boosts the gateway nodes to transmit data.

Restraints

Interference from different narrowband wireless Technologies

Ultra-wideband-based wireless communications systems are positively vulnerable to interference from existing narrowband wireless communication systems due to the low-power transmission of short pulses in ultra-wideband wireless communication. Wireless ultra-wideband technology systems use an allocated frequency spectrum in many parts of the world. Using the allocated frequency spectrum under the unlicensed spectrum for ultra-wideband technology is possible because of the low power spectral density of the ultra-wideband signal. The ultra-wideband system uses a frequency band ranging from 3.1 to 10.6 GH for communication. Other narrowband wireless communication standards such as IEEE802.11a and cellular networks can interfere with ultra-wideband signals as they operate in similar frequency spectrums. Thus, the high risk of interference restricts the growth of ultra-wideband technology for outdoor wireless communication applications.
