Ceva and LG Validate First Full-Stack UWB IP on TSMC 22nm: Anchor Customer Already Licensing

Ceva, Inc. and LG Electronics announced a collaboration on September 9, 2026, to develop a complete ultra-wideband (UWB) subsystem on TSMC's 22nm process. An unnamed U.S. semiconductor company has already licensed the technology. The system is designed to comply with the upcoming IEEE 802.15.4ab standard, which is expected to enhance UWB's ranging distance and sensing capabilities. The partnership aims to reduce integration risks for SoC teams, particularly in the automotive sector, where UWB is
