IEEE 802.15.4a

IEEE 802.15.4a is a technical standard for low-power wireless communication, primarily used in devices like sensors and tracking systems. It enhances the original 802.15.4 standard by improving indoor and outdoor location accuracy through time-based measurements, such as ranging and positioning. This allows devices to determine their exact location with high precision while consuming minimal energy, making it ideal for applications like asset tracking, healthcare monitoring, and smart homes. In essence, 802.15.4a enables efficient, accurate, and energy-conscious wireless communication for a wide range of specialized, often embedded, systems.
