Wi-R Bluetooth Competitor Uses Body 100x Less Energy

Presse Citron presents Wi-R as Bluetooth competitor consuming 100x less energy by using human body as conductor through Electro-Quasistatic fields. Non-radiative near-field communication creates secure body area networks for wearables and smart devices.

Body-conducted communication

Wi-R signals propagate through body surface with 5-10cm wireless range extending 2-5m along conductor. Connects smartphone to smartwatch headphones pacemaker unlike Bluetooths broad radiation accessible by anyone within 5-10m radius.

Extreme energy efficiency

YR11 chip achieves sub-0.1 nJ/bit at 1Mbps with YR21 roadmap targeting 20Mbps. 100x improvement over Bluetooth enables all-day operation across multiple synchronized wearables supporting real-time AI and video streaming.

Touch-activated applications

Pairing-free activation on body contact, fist-bump contact exchange, physically secure signals with negligible inter-human interference. Development kits available for manufacturers integrating body-conducted networking into AR glasses sensors and IoT devices.
