Ixana's Wi-R Chip Wins Coveted CES®2024 Innovation Award
by Shreyas Sen
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.
Winning at CES isn't just about trophies; it's about earning the coveted seal of approval from the industry's toughest judges. The CES Innovation Awards program, meticulously curated by the Consumer Technology Association, is a crucible where only the most exceptional technologies emerge triumphant. Building on the buzz of CES 2023's Wi-R reveal, Ixana soars further with a prestigious CES®2024 Innovation Award in Embedded Technologies and Computer Hardware.
Revolutionary Wi-R Technology
Ixana's invention, the Wi-R communication chip, reduces energy consumption by 100x compared to radiative wireless technologies like BLE, Wi-Fi, cellular, Zigbee, and Z-Wave, enabling a paradigm shift in wearable technology.
Our 4Mbit/s YR22 Wi-R chip unleashes the potential of continuous charging-free body-worn health monitoring, video streaming for extended reality, and intuitive human-computer interaction.
By enabling complex algorithms to run via distributed computing on battery-powered devices, Wi-R pioneers a new era of ubiquitous computing with seamless connectivity and is of special interest to AR/VR, Audio, physically secure electronics, automotive, healthcare and medical sensors, smartphones and wearables.
Founder Statement
The founder and CTO of Ixana, Shreyas Sen expressed his delight, saying, "We are honored to receive the CES® 2024 Innovation Award. Wi-R exemplifies the criteria evaluated for these awards – innovative design and engineering features. We are thrilled that CES 2024 has recognized Wi-R and the significant impact we are making in all facets of the consumer electronics industry."
Game-Changing Impact
What makes Wi-R truly compelling is not only its innovation in efficient energy consumption, but its role as an enabler for manufacturers to unlock performance and innovation in a wide range of applications. By solving the challenge of energy consumption, manufacturers can now design wearables that can even be charging-free. This also opens a world of possibilities for advancements in various industries, making Wi-R a game-changer in the consumer electronics landscape like those exhibiting at CES 2024.
CES 2024 Showcase
We will be showcasing the Wi-R chip in the Innovation Awards Showcase at CES2024, at Booth 61249 (Venetian Expo) and a Venetian Suite. Reserve a slot to experience Wi-R here: LINK
