With iOS15 Apple has released "Nearby Interactions" API that allows U1-enabled Apple devices to range and obtain inch-level precise distance with other, non-Apple, UWB-enabled devices.

Under this link: https://developer.apple.com/nearby-interaction/ Apple has published a list of UWB chip providers that are interoperable with U1 chip.

Try to google for "UWB Beacons" and you can find many Developer Kits you can get to play around. Just make sure these are compatible with U1 or FiRa, as Apple devices can only talk to devices that are interoperable.
