The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has published the interim provisions "MIIT No. 77 [2024]” for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) equipment, which will take effect on August 1, 2025.

UWB radio transmission equipment refers to radio transmission equipment with a transmitting signal bandwidth (-10dB bandwidth) of not less than 500MHz, which is mainly used in short-distance and high-speed wireless data communication, positioning, ranging, perception and other fields, and is used at a frequency of 7163-8812 MHz.

These provisions apply to the development, production, import, sale and use of UWB radio transmission equipment.
