Channel Sounding Over Bluetooth Leads to High-Accuracy Secure Positioning

CEVA recently announced support for channel sounding to its RivieraWaves Bluetooth IP portfolio, which provides high-accuracy secure positioning in the automotive, industrial, and IoT markets. Channel sounding (previously referred to as high accuracy distance measurement, or HADM) is an improvement on traditional Bluetooth distance and position measurement techniques, with additional security and accuracy.

Thanks to its low-power profile and size, Bluetooth-based channel sounding is well-suited for applications such as automotive digital keys and general systems like industrial/warehouse/consumer asset tracking and real-time sport/fitness tracking. Bluetooth-based positioning is experiencing a new wave of growth in the retail location services segment, too, especially when coupled with the increasingly popular Bluetooth-based electronic shelf label (ESL) systems.
