Mr. Tiby Kuruvilla, Global CEO Pinmicro Japan

UWB has gained growing public attention over the past couple of years. Three of the top-ten smartphone vendors have all introduced UWB into their latest smartphones. UWB has also been rolled in PC, smart-home and smart-wearable products from top OEMs. It has also been widely adopted by the automotive industry as a way to prevent vehicle theft by offering enhanced protection against relay attacks. At the same time, many other technology companies are now deploying UWB for diverse applications such as secure payment solutions, AR/VR, high resolution COVID-19 contact tracing, medical, entertainment, and many other smart IoT services.

We are delighted to welcome Pinmicro to our membership and look forward to their involvement and valued contributions in the UWB Alliance organization
Tim Harrington, Chairman of the UWB Alliance
