Now is the time to double down on the right technology investment,\u201d says Stuart Carlaw, Chief Research Officer at ABI Research.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What Will Happen in 2021:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ultra-Wideband Ubiquity:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUWB\u2019s rollout and increased adoption is due to wider chipset availability, adoption across multiple segments, and the formation of a healthy UWB ecosystem across the entire supply chain,\u201d explains Andrew Zignani, Wi-Fi,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While historically, the technology has been used primarily within high-accuracy RTLS applications, 2020 has propelled UWB into various new markets. To date, arguably the biggest news was Apple\u2019s decision to develop and use its own UWB technology in its iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and iPhone SE devices. In addition, Samsung now supports the technology in its Galaxy Note 20, and Xiaomi added UWB to its Mi 10 series. Apple has also integrated the technology within its latest Apple Watch Series 6 and HomePod Mini speaker, demonstrating the importance of the technology going forward. Xiaomi also recently demonstrated UWB leveraged within a variety of smart home devices, such as fans, lamps, and smart speakers, highlighting the growing potential of the UWB ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once embedded within a sizable installed base of smartphones, new opportunities will emerge within the mobile accessory space, alongside wider consumer electronics applications. \u201cThough it is difficult to predict which will be the largest markets exactly, it is clear that UWB is here to stay and that a strong ecosystem of devices is emerging,\u201d Zignani says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What Won\u2019t Happen in 2021:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LEO Satellites Will Not Yet Overtake GEO Operators\u2019 Dominance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe promise of ubiquitous, high-capacity, low-latency connectivity of mega-constellations has initiated a potential changing of the guard within the satellite industry,\u201d says Miguel Castaneda Industry Analyst at ABI Research. Likely disruptors, such as SpaceX and OneWeb, are ramping up development and production of their Low Earth Orbit (LEO) solutions to offer affordable and universal connectivity solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are, however, major obstacles that will hinder the ambitions of these LEO companies from coming to fruition, especially in 2021. \u201cLEO companies must still improve commercial feasibility by overcoming the cost implications of deploying large-scale satellite fleets,\u201d Castaneda explains. The cost advantages of LEO deployments, such as Amazon\u2019s Kuiper (intending to launch 3,000 satellites) and SpaceX\u2019s Starlink (estimated 42,000 satellites by 2025), are neutralized as GEO\/Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) deployments only require, at most, 10 satellites for global coverage. There are also other considerations that LEO companies must confront, including the need for more ground system infrastructure, proper orchestration of seamless switching\/hand-offs of up to thousands of beams (due to the narrower spot beam capabilities of modern high throughput satellite systems), and navigating the varied landing rights of different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more trends that will \u2013 and won\u2019t &#8211; happen in 2021, download the\u00a0whitepaper,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net\/ls\/click?upn=4tNED-2FM8iDZJQyQ53jATUX-2FnMa5YMK5rGsZes60PyKVXgUNvQlyKD-2FkG7Pd6eg53KGPT3kYxZjq-2B-2FmjPHPkQCfxwThGR2ow5mcU4GRh7ePGisjCR5W7yrsaCusZ37d7JX1CN8aU62BH9XiQhwnELDJ5FJHnSJL2N27EzIFq4p2Y-3Dkx_Y_tegQlZpjlNod1f2-2FGyjHo8YXgusZNaeywfCNJBXiABcjH9ilHEfAnpKtxek-2B3N7WfHm10aFfv-2F5WIajWcQazJxpqlyX-2FOf-2BHKuN6i13zjS7tQjz0-2BkArw9PHg35DihkzseTRC9Yjoc6Q9N2oy02jpjF3H2g4sXXpgZkASXg-2BIZ8S3PqVuN5UONc0xeTh5ZsSIJbXJ3rHs7DKsXHYfzJWznzIsNRxgLhqCRFBDdmhSj-2FXHC23Mj3F1yoQYSV7VVz3twAdhdjUjKkuXgQOc6T1NItaPUsybiQv50tmwusROlA1WHZX7RHdQ5JFYIRtK-2FshPWOPYT3JzRn5M3QEVPYx3M9iDMDxuGZ8jByQvfWyesc-3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">68 Technology Trends that Will Shape 2021: Predictions for What Will and Will Not Happen in The Year Ahead<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The foundation has been laid for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) to become a mainstream wireless connectivity technology across many consumer and IoT applications, enabling accurate indoor location and positioning with context-aware information and precise analytics in real-time.
