Google’s Chromebooks Embrace Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Tech: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth have long been the wireless technologies of choice for connecting devices. However, ultra-wideband (UWB) is quickly becoming the next major thing, promising rapid data transfer. Google is currently investigating the potential of ultra-wideband (UWB) for Chromebooks, focusing on use cases such as connecting Chromebooks to one another, to phones, and to numerous devices.
Recently, Chrome Unboxed uncovered information about UWB on Chromebooks. They discovered references to Ultra-Wideband (UWB) in Chromium Gerrit, a tool used by developers to debate and review modifications to source code.
Google is experimenting with UWB for a variety of purposes on Chromebooks in particular. These experiments involve testing connections between Chromebooks, Chromebooks and mobile phones, and even connections involving multiple individuals, in addition to one-to-one connections.
Ultra-wideband for Chromebooks is still undergoing testing, so it may be some time before we see it on a ChromeOS device. However, the prospective uses of UWB on Chromebooks are intriguing.
If you are unfamiliar with UWB (ultra-wideband), it is an energy-efficient, versatile, and cost-effective short-range wireless communication technology. It can transfer data at speeds of up to 675Mbps and allows for centimeter-precise location monitoring. Apple AirTags utilise UWB to trace your lost items reliably.
Chromebook ultra-wideband technology could enable new connection possibilities. According to the blog, it could make wireless extended displays possible. This would be a significant improvement, as it would eliminate the need for cables and make multiple displays simpler to set up and use.
