UWB Module

[NMO]

I found this module B-UWB-MEK1 but seems like it cannot be purchased. Are there any chances that it will be released soon? Are there any alternatives for UWB position tracking? Or wireless position tracking in general?
Thanks for help.

As @STTwo-32 said:

 

 

However, the Databrief is dated March 2021:

So, if nothing's happened by now, one might suspect that it's not going to happen.

What, exactly, do you mean by "position tracking"?

There are many options offering various trade-offs of precision, accuracy, cost, complexity, infrastructure dependence, etc, etc, ...

Bluetooth/BLE has various ranging options - the latest is Channel Sounding:
