Today,the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted Tesla approval to use Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio technologyin its wireless EV charging system - granting the company a waiver so that Cybercabs recharging pads can be installed on fixed outdoor equipment, which ismajor.

"The Tesla positioning system is an impulse UWB radio system that enables peer-to-peer communications between a UWB transceiver installed on an electric vehicle (EV) and a second UWB transceiver installed on a ground-level pad, which could be located outdoors, to achieve optimal positioning for the EV to charge wirelessly," the company said in the FCCdocumentgranting approval.

As journalist Sawyer Merrittnoteson X:

The FCC today officially granted @Tesla a waiver allowing it to use Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio technology for its wireless EV charging system that will be used to wirelessly charge the Cybercab.

Normally, this kind of radio must be handheld and can’t be installed outdoors on fixed equipment. Tesla’s charging pad is fixed and could be outdoors, so they needed an exception.

The FCC said yes because:• The signal is very low power• It only turns on briefly while parking• It works at very short range• It won’t interfere with other systems
