UWB wireless technology uses extremely narrow radio frequency (RF) pulses to enable communication between transmitters and receivers; hence, it is fundamentally different from other communication technologies. Other predominant personal area network (PAN) protocols such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are based on spread spectrum signal structuring. UWB technology utilizes short-duration RF pulses for the purpose of communication, thereby offering a very wide bandwidth and several advantages such as large throughput, robustness to jamming, covertness, and coexistence with current radio services.
The UWB market, by positioning system, has been broadly classified into indoor and outdoor. The high bandwidth provides more data throughput, which is suitable for precision imaging and location devices in an indoor environment. Besides its higher data rate, UWB technology has several other advantages such as data security, greater resistance to noise, higher jamming resistance, lower power consumption, greater multipath immunity, and higher penetration ability over its counterparts. All these qualities make UWB one of the preferred wireless communication technologies for applications in the government, military, and healthcare verticals.

Restraint: High competition from substitute products
UWB technology has failed in achieving mass-volume application to get the benefit of economy of scale, whereas Bluetooth has succeeded in capturing market share, in terms of volume, in consumer electronics due to which the price of Bluetooth is the lowest among all wireless communication protocols. UWB was expected to be the most dominant technology for wireless USB during the early commercialization period. However, lack of digital keys and lower data rates than what was promised by UWB players have led to their downfall. According to many experts, UWB was expected to replace Bluetooth and other wireless communication technologies in keyboards, audio systems, PCs, and smartphones. However, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are the dominating wireless communication technologies in these segments. The high cost of UWB technology, along with technological advancements in other wireless technologies in terms of data speed and power consumption are the major competitive factors that may impact the adoption of UWB technologies.
