UWB4Industry: Self-sufficient UWB-based industrial sensor networks

Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology has recently attracted significant attention since smart phone manufacturers like Apple announced its integration into their next generation’s smart phones. Currently, they focus on tracking applications since UWB is known as one of the most precise localization methods far superior in terms of accuracy and speed compared to competing technologies (Bluetooth, GPS, etc). Moreover, it is very energy efficient, secure, and robust. But UWB can also be…
