Ultrawideband wireless technology transmits data at very high rates over a wide frequency spectrum, at low power, making it suitable for the industrial environment. We discuss the benefits and challenges of using wireless communication in the industrial environment, and we explain why UWB is a suitable wireless solution for addressing these challenges. We also consider some unresolved system-level and operational issues for incorporating UWB technology in industrial environments
