Remember CES 2023? That’s where Ixana first sparked the world’s imagination with Wi-R, its revolutionary wireless communication technology. Fast forward one year, and we’re back on the CES stage, not just showcasing, but being celebrated for a feat that rewrites the rules of connectivity.

xana was selected for the Silicon 100 for its innovative Wi-R technology, a non-radiative communication technology, which confines fields around conductive surfaces, including humans to transmit data. Wi-R combines the security and performance of wired communication with the convenience of wireless. For example, Wi-R is 100x more energy-efficient than traditional wireless technologies like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, making it ideal for wearable devices and other applications where battery life is a critical factor.

In recent years, the augmented reality (AR) headset space has heated up, with almost every major tech company teasing a headset release soon. Billions of dollars have been invested in recent years to build AR headsets that are suitable for everyday use, user-friendly, and powerful at the same time. Unfortunately, no company has yet been […]

We envision a future with distributed wearable computing. Similar to the human body, there would be multiple sensors on body, powered by one distributed computing hub (which we call Wearable Brain). We have coined the term Electronic Nervous System (ENS) for this distributed computing platform. Dr. Shreyas Sen describes the vision in detail in the IEEE […]

Wi-R is a new non-radiative near-field communication technology that uses Electro-Quasistatic (EQS) Fields for communication. The key differentiations that make Wi-R unique are as follows: Non-radiative Wire-like wireless Traditional electromagnetic (EM) field-based wireless (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UltraWideBand (UWB)) radiates signals in every direction. For example, Bluetooth signals can be accessed by anyone in a 5-10m […]
