The Expanding Possibilities for Ultra Wideband Radio Technology
Ultra Wideband presents unique opportunities and challenges in the application of this technology. From the extremely high data rate to the accurate ToF ranging between devices, engineering capabilities with this technology are high. As with any other technology there are limits and considerations that must be accommodated when working with this technology.
Nuvation strives to make the ups and downs of UWB technology as clear and wide as the horizon! Read on! more...
Get a Fix for Your Need for Speed
Typical transfers of EXT3 partitions to a memory card can be limited to low effective data rates. Nuvation has developed a method to create and update an EXT3 partition, using the “dd” command, that can icrease the speed by 4.5 times! Read on to learn how to implement this method and the simple changes that can give you the fix you need. more...
