FiRa Consortium

We just wrapped up a successful FiRa Consortium face-to-face Plenary meeting in Osaka, Japan, where members and staff gathered to drive progress and share insights! 💡📈 The event was a great mix of productivity and connection, featuring Working Group sessions, meaningful discussions, and an unforgettable riverboat cruise 🌊. A special highlight? An evening of live UWB product demos showcasing the latest advancements from both our members and industry innovators. The optimism for ultra-wideband’s future was felt by everyone there. (Photos coming soon!) Thanks to all who participated and contributed. Looking forward to our continued journey together in making UWB the global standard! 🌐✨ #FiRaConsortium #UWB #UltraWideband #Innovation #Collaboration
