The Second Nervous System for Physical AI
Continuous context and feedback for wearables and edge devices, with wire-like latency at ultra-low power
Recognized by Industry Leaders
The AI brain is ready. The nervous system is missing.
WHY NOW
The hidden tax on Physical AI
Current radios force a choice between battery life and real-time intelligence. To scale multimodal AI, we must break the energy-latency trade-off.
- The Power Tax: Always-on sensing drains batteries fast, forcing duty-cycling that loses context
- The Latency Tax: Standard wireless lag breaks real-time sensor fusion for Physical AI interactions
- The Spectrum Tax: Room-scale radiation wastes energy and creates interference. Wi‑R keeps link energy local
IXANA'S BREAKTHROUGH
The fix: keep link energy local
RF radios radiate energy room-scale. Wi-R couples energy at the link using confined E-fields, enabling continuous context without duty-cycling and with wire-like latency at ultra-low power.
* Up to 100x lower in low-power mode.
THE CONFINEMENT ADVANTAGE
Bluetooth-class
Energy spreads room-scale
- Room-scale radiation
- Most energy misses the receiver
E-field coupling (Wi-R)
Energy stays local to the link
- Energy stays local to the link
- High efficiency, low interference
The physics of confinement
Peer-reviewed foundation for confined E-field coupling.

CHOOSE YOUR DEPLOYMENT MODE
THE WEARABLE FRONTIER
Wearable Network
(Wi-R BAN)
Continuous sensor streams to a nearby compute hub, without the battery tax.
Best for: Always-on streaming wearables
THE INDUSTRIAL FRONTIER
Close-Range Link
(Wi-R NFE)
Replace exposed ports and contacts for portless setup, service, and diagnostics.
Best for: Cable and port replacement
APPLICATIONS
Wi-R is on track to be in every device around you
Wi‑R is unlocking continuous context and portless links in real products: from XR and biometrics to robots, access control, and cable‑free peripherals.
Instant local transfer
Transfer data between phones or watches at 2Mbit/s throughput when they are within 10cm. No bump required.
Fistbump to transfer data
Share photos or contact info between devices with a fistbump or handshake.
All-day AR glasses video streaming
Offload compute to a paired phone for untethered AR and UX via Wi-R BAN.
Slip-ring replacement for robotic joints
Replace cables and slip rings in rotating joints with a near-field data link for telemetry and control.
Seamless touch to pair
Pair devices such as routers, smartwatches, rings with just a touch.
Cable-free radio to PTT/headphone
In RF-constrained environments, teams still rely on cables for radios and headsets. Wi-R enables a localized link for cable-free PTT and audio accessories.
VALIDATION
Battle-tested. Scientifically grounded.
Wi‑R is shipping silicon backed by peer‑reviewed research, third‑party publications, and evaluations in RF‑constrained environments.
Mission-criticalreliability
Selected for U.S. Department of War (formerly DoD) programs and U.S. Air Force test environments where RF constraints make conventional wireless impractical. Proven in high-interference settings.
Born in the lab
Built on a decade of peer‑reviewed E-field research.
Engineered by a PhD team in electromagnetics, RF, and low‑power silicon.
Protected and recognized innovation
40+ patents across E-field modulation, encoding, and transceivers.
Recognized by CES Innovation Awards, EE Times Silicon 100, and the NATO Innovation Challenge.
