ABOUT US

THE MICRO-LOCATION COMPANY

At Decawave, we develop semiconductor solutions, software, modules and reference designs that enable real-time, ultra-accurate, ultra reliable local area micro-location services.

Our UWB wireless technology enables an entirely new class of easy to implement, highly secure, intelligent location functionality and services for IoT and smart consumer products and applications.

Our corporate headquarters are located in Ireland, with regional offices in California and China, and a presence in South Korea, France, and Japan.

OUR TECHNOLOGY

WHAT IS UWB

Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a radio technology based on the IEEE 802.15.4a and 802.15.4z standards that can enable the very accurate measure of the Time of Flight of the radio signal, leading to centimeter accuracy distance/location measurement.

In addition to this unique capability, UWB offers data communication capability while using extremely little energy – enabling coin cell operation for years without needing to be recharged or replaced. By combining accurate location and communication, UWB also offers a new way of securely communicating over wireless, opening the door to new forms of secure transactions.

WHY UWB IS THE PREMIER LOCATION TECHNOLOGY

Unlike other technologies like Bluetooth or WiFi, which are being re-tooled for a new purpose, the physical properties of the UWB RF signal were specifically defined from the start to achieve real-time, ultra-accurate, ultra-reliable location and communication.

At Decawave, we also wanted UWB technology to become ubiquitous, and we added low-power and low-cost to the definition of our UWB chips.
