Ultra-wideband

Now, at the moment, the devices are quite limited.

They've got to be UWB enabled.

So, my signature's got it and the 70 Ultra's got it and I've got no other devices to test for it.

But it's very limited in terms of what UWB devices have got it.

There are lots and lots of other UWB enabled devices out there, of course, as we know.

But, To make all these clever things work with these speakers, it's got to also run off of Motorola hardware as well.

So it's a bit locked down, to be honest.

It's an impressive undertaking, but it's a testament to the hardworking folks across software and hardware that make it happen.

And to your point, the RFID tags, UWB, ultra-wideband technology that goes into these almost instructable cases that have a special pouch underneath the epaulet, which never impacts the performance of the players, and they don't even feel that they're there because they only weigh a few grams.

have the right battery life technology to communicate with us in real time.

And to your point, if one ever were to fall out, we can still keep on tracking.

This has gone beyond RFID on a badge or something like that.

We're starting to see UWB and Bluetooth positioning channel sounding become an access control capability.

Sensing is a big piece of it.

And the third is the, you know, the pure connectivity side.

Yeah, we, um-

It's a gateway to, to get into the software, and I also think it's important to emphasize that not only does it encompass the Wi-Fi planning, uh, and analysis, we also support 4G, 5G, BLE, Ultra Wideband and Zigbee.

So all of those-

Oh, and all those are included in that Plan license

Um, sort of, you know, going off a little bit, but one of the things that I have back here is a, a new Aliro lock, and this isn't necessarily channel sounding, but it's an exciting technology that I wasn't completely sold on until I demonstrated it.

And what it is, is basically Aliro is just a standard to focus on sort of how you handle things like tap to unlock, walk up, uh, UWB, et cetera, and just sort of how that handles it.

So for example, before Aliro, if I had NFC to unlock a lock, it would be proprietary from one vendor to the next.

Now it's, it's standardizing, and I could use it with like my, um, Apple Wallet.

If I'm out of the house, I could control it via voice.

But if I walk up, I could get my phone out and tap it and it will unlock.

Or better yet, with UWB, I could walk up, and it will detect me as I walk up and unlock as I walk up.

And this is important because it's, it's accurate enough that it won't do that if I'm on the inside of the house because it says, hey-
