Arduino and Truesense Partner to Bring UWB Technology to Millions

Arduino announced its latest partnership with Truesense, a leading provider of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, known for its innovative software and hardware solutions for developers. This collaboration enhances the Arduino ecosystem of hardware products, software solutions, and cloud services, providing developers with a new valuable set of tools, focused on delivering highly accurate real-time location systems and tracking solutions.

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) announced a new direction finding feature that holds the potential to significantly enhance the performance of Bluetooth location services solutions, down to centimeter-level location accuracy. The new feature, included in version 5.1 of the Bluetooth Core Specification, allows devices to determine the direction of a Bluetooth signal, thereby enabling the development of Bluetooth proximity solutions that can understand device direction as well as Bluetooth positioning systems.
