# Ixana

> Ixana develops Wi-R, an E-field wireless technology that delivers low power, high bandwidth connectivity for near-field applications. Wi-R powers all-day AI devices across wearables, AR/VR, robotics, and industrial automation without bulky batteries or fragile cables.

Ixana designs the Wi-R silicon and reference hardware behind two product families: Wi-R BAN for connectivity across the devices a person wears, and Wi-R NFE for near-field electric data links in sealed modules and industrial systems. This file points language models to the primary pages that describe the technology, products, target applications, technical resources, and company.

Key terms: Wi-R (the wireless link), E-field or electric field signaling (how it transmits), BAN (the wearable product family), NFE (the near-field electric product family), dev kit (evaluation hardware), physical AI (a core target market).
