| Like any emerging technology, the myths around UWB hit the headlines almost as fast as the facts, and sometimes linger on in our memories. We asked several UWB ecosystem players to weigh in on the misconceptions they see attending UWB now and in the future as the technology becomes more accessible. |

| Reliable Connectivity for Portable Battery Power.
The portable device market continues to grow with the improvement of antenna range performance and battery operation longevity. Engineers are developing smaller, more rugged designs to ease the transfer, movement, and use of portable devices. Portable electronic innovations such as mobile computers, delivery drones, robots in smart factories and other IoT devices improve workflow, enhance resources and lower operational costs. |

| Thermoelectric Cooling for CMOS Sensors.
For nearly 50 years CCD (charge-coupled device) sensors and CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors have competed on cost and performance in a wide range of digital imaging applications. Peltier coolers (thermoelectric coolers) have cooled both technologies when the requirement demanded high-resolution images.
Design engineers opted to use CCD’s for astrophotography, super-resolution microscopy, x-ray crystallography, and spectrophotometric assays. On the other hand, CMOS sensors made inexpensive digital photography a reality. |

| NEC and its subsidiary OCC have announced that they have completed full qualification of subsea repeaters and optical cable containing up to 24 fibre pairs (FPs) (48 fibres). This is a 50% improvement in fibre count over the 16 fibre pair systems generally available today. This development allows cable owners worldwide to construct subsea telecom cables with superior traffic capacity while reducing the cost per bit of the wet plant. |

| UK Power Networks has launched a new digital portal that is making it quicker and easier for installers to connect clean technologies to homes and businesses. Smart Connect will give many technology companies an instant decision on whether they can connect domestic electric vehicle charge points, heat pumps, battery storage or solar PV, to the local electricity network. It removes the need for multiple paper forms and streamlines the process. |
