Abstract

A connectivity module of a vehicle includes Bluetooth and ultra-wideband radios. A processor operatively connected to the Bluetooth radio and the ultra-wideband radio operates the connectivity module in an anchor mode or a tag mode based at least in part upon a proximity of the vehicle to a movable barrier operator. When in the anchor mode the connectivity module is configured to initiate communication between a user device and both the Bluetooth radio and the ultra-wideband radio. When in the tag mode, the connectivity module is configured to respond to the movable barrier operator initiating communication between the movable barrier operator and both the Bluetooth radio and the ultra-wideband radio.
