Tesla and two additional technology companies are seeking waivers of current U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations to obtain equipment authorization to use advanced ultra-wideband (UWB) technologies in their respective products.
According to a Public Notice issued by the Commission, Tesla is seeking a waiver of current UWB restrictions to implement a UWB optimal positioning system that would operate in the 7.5-8.5 GHz frequency range to facilitate the wireless charging of its electric vehicles.
Concurrently, U-tec Group is seeking a waiver so that the company can secure an equipment authorization for a UWB door lock system called ULTRALOQ that would operate in the 6-10 GHz frequency range. And Lumi United Technology is seeking a waiver for its own UWB door lock system that would also operate in the 6-10 GHz range.
