# UWB Ultra-Wideband Tracking

*Last updated: 2026-06-26*

> UWB Ultra-Wideband Tracking is a real-time locating system (RTLS) that transmits extremely short high-frequency pulses across a wide frequency spectrum and derives precise object positions from time-of-flight (ToF) or time-difference-of-arrival (TDoA) measurements, reaching decimeter-to-centimeter accuracy.

UWB Ultra-Wideband Tracking is a real-time locating system (RTLS) that transmits extremely short high-frequency pulses across a wide frequency spectrum and derives precise object positions from time-of-flight (ToF) or time-difference-of-arrival (TDoA) measurements, reaching decimeter-to-centimeter accuracy. In warehouses and logistics facilities, UWB tracks goods, load carriers, forklifts, and handheld devices in real time without requiring line-of-sight or GPS coverage – both unavailable in enclosed spaces. This sets UWB apart from RFID and Bluetooth Low Energy, which deliver zone-entry events rather than continuous positional data. Typical logistics applications include automated picking systems, forklift collision avoidance, and storage floor utilization analysis.
