Ultra-wideband proximity sensors enable power-saving interactivity in smart appliances, chargers, smart locks

June 16, 2022 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

novelda

An upgraded ultra-wideband (UWB) proximity sensor enhances LCD screen lifetime, increases interactivity and gives devices an automated, power-saving mechanism. Its approach detection feature lights the display immediately upon approach and turns it off automatically once a person leaves the detection zone. Through contextual awareness, the device knows your intentions and is ready when you are. […]
