Apple AirTag is small, but it’s magic is big. In the two years before it was officially released the industry has been breaking news, not only to attract widespread attention and even constantly on the headlines of the technology media. Many people wonder why such a “gadget” will be so much attention, is it just because of the “ultra-bandwidth” technology behind, I think things are not so simple.
01Small tag, big ambition
Apple is not the only company that implements similar tags, but the reason why people pay extra attention to Apple AirTag, in addition to Apple’s brand influence, in fact, more because once Apple implements a technology will always be throughout, and can be matched in an ecological out, such as Face ID breeding 3D vision is good evidence.
AirTag is defined by Apple as the application category of “finder’s tag”, a typical application scenario is a big trouble always forget where to put a lot of things, with this can easily find. But the discerning know that this is only the appearance, if only for these purposes there is no need to launch this product, behind which must contain Apple’s greater ambition.
02 ultra-bandwidth is a what?
So many industry analysis that Apple AirTag so much attention, because there is a strong behind the ultra-wideband (Ultra Wide Band, UWB) technology as a support. I believe that many media have long analyzed this technology very thoroughly, simply put its advantages is to allow indoor and even low positioning, can provide centimeter-level positioning accuracy and very low power consumption.
Ultra-bandwidth technology can not only help Madaha find the key, but also has a greater commercial value. With ultra-bandwidth can be achieved indoor precision cell phone navigation, this technology in the industrial, security, medical and many other fields have more commercial value. If armed drones with this technology in indoor precision positioning flight, this is not a James Bond movie assassination weapon?
03 Internet of things it’s coming!
I can’t help but think of here in a cold sweat, but there is no denying that many technologies will be applied to the military first. But then deep inside a pondering, in fact, Apple AirTag this little thing, which is not the typical case of the Internet of things on the ground applications? We always say that the Internet of Things is a very false concept, but Apple AirTag behind the ultra-bandwidth technology is the key to the Internet of Things.
You may want to think about it carefully, a cell phone can completely change our life, by what exactly is it? In fact, the answer is very simple, is “networking + positioning”! It is not difficult to observe the impact of people’s clothing, food, housing and transportation of various types of APP, almost 100% are dependent on the two core networking and positioning, data interaction and location-based is the core of “intelligent”.
04 Conclusion.
A cell phone to open the “networking + positioning” Rendu two veins enough to turn the world upside down, then the future of the Internet of everything? In the past, we have achieved the ability to network many smart terminals, and now the ultra-bandwidth technology behind Apple AirTag is to give everything the ability to “locate”. If more terminals are equipped with ultra-bandwidth positioning technology in the future, the level of intelligence will be far beyond imagination.
“Who am I? Where am I?” Seems to be a phrase that people flirt with, but it is the fundamental of intelligent interaction of everything. With 5G and ultra-bandwidth technology, the wheels of the IoT era are rolling slowly.
