UWB AirTag Technology: Does It Make Sense for Asset Tracking? | Blog

When it comes to a real-time locating system (RTLS), there are several wireless communication technologies available to help track assets – WIFI, RFID, GPS, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) – to name a few. Recently, Apple AirTag was released using UWB technology. With all of the developing technologies, one may wonder how these different technologies are being used with a RTLS, and what they bring to the table. Let’s take a look at the critical components of a RTLS and examine whether or not AirTag’s UWB technology makes sense for asset tracking.
