Ultra-wideband (UWB) is moving from promise to measurable impact. This FiRa Consortium white paper presents a comprehensive, data-driven analysis from Telecom Advisory Services that quantifies how UWB will deliver $36.7 billion in global economic value by 2030. Spanning GDP contribution, enterprise productivity gains, and consumer benefits, the study examines seven major application areas across regions and industries, from mobility and smart homes to industrial automation and public safety. Beyond the numbers, it shows how centimeter-level precision, secure ranging, and interoperability are enabling new business models, safer systems, and smarter operations. For technology leaders, policymakers, and ecosystem stakeholders, this report offers a clear, evidence-based view of why ultra-wideband is becoming a foundational technology for the next generation of connected experiences.
