Its recent adoption for both consumer smartphones and industrial indoor systems have made it the RF technology to watch, regardless of industry. It is becoming increasingly apparent that understanding UWB is integral to designing future-proof asset tracking and [indoor positioning systems](https://www.inpixon.com/solutions/indoor-positioning) with high precision that bring indoor intelligence to the most complicated built environments. #### Download the white paper for details on: - What makes UWB technology different from other radio frequencies - The difference between Time Distance of Arrival (TDoA) and Two-Way Ranging (TWR) - The real-time location use cases that ultra-wideband enables - And more! ## Download the White Paper © 2026 Inpixon.
