SPARK's technology was named a CES® 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree. Attendees can experience SPARK's LE-UWB innovation at CES 2026, the world’s most powerful technology event.

SPARK’s SR1120 LE-UWB™ wireless transceiver was recently selected as an Honoree for the CES® 2026 Innovation Awards in the Embedded Technologies category for surpassing Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless performance. SPARK’s innovation will be spotlighted at CES 2026, the world’s most powerful technology event. Attendees can join SPARK at CES 2026 (Palazzo Las Vegas, January 6-9) to preview these connectivity advantages first-hand.

Alongside SPARK-enabled products from innovators including Sonus faber, Waizowl, ELECOM, TokenMe and Focal, SPARK’s CES 2026 demonstrations include:

  • AI wearables with real-time AI data offload, with under 2 ms latency and high-bandwidth, low-power links. Features include True Wireless Stereo (TWS) with tight audio synchronization.
  • Presence detection demonstrations using ultra-low-power beacons and precise ranging optimized for IoT applications. This capability enables targeted, room and zone-level awareness with robust RF coexistence.
  • Gaming and esports HIDs that achieve near-zero latency and true 8 kHz sustained polling. Features include 30% lower power than legacy 2.4 GHz, and headsets delivering under 5 ms latency with 96 kHz, 24-bit uncompressed audio leveraging SPARK’s PURETONE™ audio delivery technology.

Join SPARK at CES 2026 (Palazzo Las Vegas, January 6 - 9) to experience these innovations first-hand, with live demonstrations and in-depth conversations with SPARK’s technology and application experts.
