Phones/Devices with UWB (Ultra-wideband)
What's ultra-wideband (UWB)? It's a radio which utilizes a very low energy level for short range, high bandwidth communications. This would allow you to pinpoint exact location of other phones, key fobs or tracking tags, and more. Real world applications can also include determining where you parked, finding a lost dog, or interacting with smart devices by simply pointing to them.
