| 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. Let’s demystify four misunderstandings about UWB.

| The connected world is growing, and the Linux operating system is enabling a lot of the growth from the backbone to the edge. Our new AM64x processor starter kit enables wireless and wired networking using Linux, right out-of-the-box. A variety of networking architectures including wireless gateways, wired gateways, and network switches can be built directly on this foundation. |

| From free-range chicken to food miles on alfalfa, eating ethically is becoming more and more of a head-scratcher. Even for vegans, there are the questions of how sustainably agave was sourced, or whether environment-damaging pesticides were used to grow kale - and all that is without even considering how the food tastes. |

| In early February 2021, the control system of the water utility in Oldsmar, USA, fell victim to an external tampering cyber attack. According to the utility's supervisor, a hacker gained access to the central control system around 1:30pm on February 5th. The hacker took control of the screen and increased the addition of sodium hydroxide (also known as lye) by a factor of hundreds. The chemical is used in water treatment to regulate the acidity of drinking water. The water utility serves about 15,000 residents in the county as well as local stores and businesses.
