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.
As UWB technology continues to expand to most mobile devices and to gain increased traction for location and access applications, Arduino understood the importance of expanding its ecosystem with a complete set of UWB solutions. TrueSense has vertically integrated R&D, developing UWB modules based on NXP Semiconductor technology to target the market of
UWB applications. UWB radio technology based on the IEEE 802.15.4 and 802.15.4z standards, offers superior location accuracy, power consumption, robustness in wireless connectivity, and security, outperforming Bluetooth or Wi-Fi technologies in challenging environments by a wide margin.
UWB offers superior accuracy for ranging and positioning, operates within a less congested radio spectrum, and coexists with technologies like Wi-Fi and NFC without interference. Additionally, UWB’s enhanced physical layer (PHY) supports advanced security features such as cryptography and random number generation, making it ideal for applications requiring secure communication.
Through the partnership with Truesense, Arduino envisions a future where seamless applications gather precise, real-time information from the environment, allowing machines to make quick, accurate decisions without human intervention. Collaborating with the Italian company, empowers Arduino to meet the needs of the growing number of users who rely on open-source solutions for innovation.
"Partnerships like these are essential to expanding possibilities within the Arduino community", says Armando Caltabiano, CEO of Truesense. "We are excited to partner with Arduino to bring innovative UWB solutions to the market. We are combining the accuracy and secure ranging of our UWB technology with the leading open-source ecosystem, to provide developers with powerful tools to quickly build robust smart IoT and Industrial real-time tracking systems. This partnership showcases our commitment to making UWB technology widely accessible for developers and innovators."
Fabio Violante, CEO of Arduino, added, "This partnership with Truesense is crucial for the Arduino community as it provides access to advanced UWB technology through open and accessible Arduino libraries. By integrating cutting-edge hardware into our ecosystem, we’re empowering developers to create sophisticated applications without barriers. These tools will enable our users to push the boundaries of innovation, bringing highly accurate, real-time tracking and secure communication to a wider audience."
Arduino and Truesense will deliverg high-performance, accessible solutions that enable the development of next-generation UWB projects, from industrial applications to consumer electronics.
