The UWB market in November was very lively. Whether from the perspective of market performance, technological innovation, or industry trends, it has made remarkable new progress, demonstrating the vitality and development potential of the UWB market.
1. UWB market financing and investment in November
In terms of corporate financing and investment, two financing dynamics were completed in the UWB market this week. Changsha Chixin Semiconductor Co., Ltd. announced the completion of the A+ round of financing, jointly participated by Kunshan Hi-Tech Group and Hunan Xingxiang Capital; Shenzhen Jieyang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. completed a new round of financing, led by Yida Capital and followed by listed companies. For details, please jump to the Smart Communication Positioning Circle article "The amount is tens of millions! UWB chips have two financings again". These two financing events not only injected new vitality into the UWB market, but also represent that UWB is favored by the capital market.
2. UWB new dynamics
UWB technology has developed from the earliest military industry to the current industrial, automotive, consumer and other application fields. There are many layouts, but the automotive and smartphone fields have become the two main battlefields of UWB. The "UWB contactless payment gate solution" jointly launched by Shenzhen Tong Company, NXP, Meizu and others has started a pilot in Shenzhen Yunba No. 1. Meizu's Meizu 20 INFINITY Unbounded Edition and Meizu 20 PRO models will support UWB contactless payment function; Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. has applied for a new patent called "Communication Method and Communication Device" (publication number CN118843133A), which aims to optimize the wireless personal area network system based on ultra-wideband (UWB, Ultra-Wideband) technology.
3. UWB participates in the IoT Star Show
UWB (Ultra-Wideband) has shown great application potential in multiple fields such as mobile phones, wearable devices, tags, locators, digital keys, smart homes, automobiles and the Internet of Things due to its unique advantages in short-range wireless communication connection capabilities, high-precision ranging and positioning functions
"2024 IoT Star" has established five major lists: the top 100 Chinese IoT companies in 2024, the top 50 companies in terms of investment value, the list of innovative products, the list of application benchmark cases, and the list of outstanding industry figures. In the list of innovative products and the list of application benchmark cases, we can frequently see the deep integration and exploration of UWB technology in multiple fields such as smart homes, medical health, and smart manufacturing.
We look forward to more companies and more UWB projects appearing on the stage of "2024 IoT Star" in the next few months, and seeing UWB technology showing great application potential in multiple fields such as mobile phones, wearable devices, tags, locators, digital keys, smart homes, automobiles and the Internet of Things.
