The first evaluation kit offering UWB interoperability against Apple® and AndroidTM mobile devices.
Kick-start the design of your innovative applications by leveraging on the sample iOS and Android applications developed by MobileKnowledge and unleash UWB ability to create more precise, spatial-aware application experiences.
UWB technology is rapidly expanding into the IoT ecosystem.
Smartphones play a significant role in driving the adoption of UWB in the IoT ecosystem as they make the technology intuitive and accessible to a broad user base.
Get ahead of this trend and start evaluating how NXP's UWB TrimensionTM technology interacts with UWB-enabled Apple® and AndroidTM devices.
With the MK UWB Kit Mobile edition 2.0:
- Experience how to establish a UWB ranging session between a UWB-enabled Apple® or AndroidTM smartphone and a UWB anchor or UWB tag based on NXP's TrimensionTM UWB IoT ICs
- Leverage on the background operation mode for mobile devices to build hands-free interactions with nearby smart objects.
- Obtain the MK UWB Connect application source code for Apple® or AndroidTM devices as well as the reference source code for SR150 UWB Anchor and SR040 UWB Tag software to interoperate against mobile devices.
- Receive exclusive support from MobileKnowledge to accelerate the evaluation and development of UWB technology-based solutions.
