A
s a noun, the word precision can be associated with
perfection or even defined by its root word, precise in
a circular definition. Working as a modifier, it imbues its
target with the mark or quality of exactness. From a technical
perspective, precision is often associated with how many digits
are given in a number. These definitions are fitting but do not
fully capture the impact and importance that precision provides
for our world. With the advent of locationing technologies
based on Bluetooth
®
and Ultra-Wideband (UWB), accurate
situational awareness enabled by precise ranging opens up
vast opportunities for a broad range of applications in the
automotive and Internet of Things (IoT) markets.
