UHDI Fundamentals: UHDI Drives Unique IoT Innovation—Smart Homes
June 3, 2025 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsEstimated reading time: 1 minute

The combination of UHDI's high-bandwidth capabilities and IoT's real-time data processing can lead to more efficient, immersive, and smarter IoT systems. This convergence of two revolutionary technologies is enabling quantum advancements in some very “unconventional” applications.
The typical discussions around UHDI focus on our standard electronic industry market segments like MilAero, Medical, Consumer Electronics, etc. IoT is all about machines talking to other machines, machine learning and artificial intelligence, but again, typically applied in our PCB and Assembly operations. The combination of UHDI and IoT is now exploding inside our personal lives with Smart Homes.
Years ago the smart home concept began slowly with smart light bulbs and thermostats, morphing into smartphone app controls. Now, the combination of UHDI and IoT is permeating every aspect of our homes, including energy management. IoT is bringing connectivity, automation, and intelligence to home energy systems, enabling users to monitor, control, and optimize energy usage in real time. Smart meters & smart grid integration is providing real-time energy usage data, communicating with utility companies via IoT networks and enabling dynamic pricing & real-time consumption feedback. This allows homeowners to adjust usage during peak/off-peak times.
