50× More Efficient Wearable Communication
Traditional wireless cannot sustain continuous streaming without draining batteries quickly. Wi-R BAN's contained E-field delivers about 50x lower energy per bit and sub-1ms latency, enabling multi-day operation for always-on wearable AI.

WHAT IS Wi‑R?
Wire-like Wireless
Traditional wireless signals radiate uniformly in every direction. The Bluetooth signal created on your phone can be accessed by anyone in a 5–10m radius. Alternatively, Wi‑R confines the signal around the wearer's E‑Field surface. Your data signal is private from someone sitting at the next table.

WHY Wi-R BAN
When your design needs:
Higher throughput: 5 Mbit/s vs. Bluetooth LE's 1-2 Mbit/s
Continuous streaming for days: not hours
Sub-millisecond responsiveness: during active data transfer
Multi-device coordination: without power budget explosion
Contained signals: that don't broadcast beyond the wearer
Performance Snapshot

Coordinate up to 16 devices on one body network
Time-division scheduler examples in SDK
Coordinated and dynamic scheduling for sensing, audio, haptics, control across watch, earbuds, ring, AR glasses, and medical sensors
Sub-1ms slot switching maintains responsive user experience
BAN vs NFE: Pick the right mode
Real-world applications for Wi-R
Explore six proven scenarios and filter by the Wi-R mode best suited to your build.
Always-on health and fitness
Continuous biometric monitoring with week-long battery life using BAN to stream heart rate, glucose, and activity data.
All-day AR glasses
Offload compute to a paired phone for untethered AR and VR BAN keeps high-rate sensor fusion without heating headsets.
Continuous patient monitoring
Pair with NFE then stream with BAN to support wearable monitors, smartbeds, and bedside devices that stay compliant.
Portless device setup
Provision smart thermostats, locks, and appliances on-site without Wi-Fi credentials by tapping with NFE.
RF-silent body networks
Deploy low-electromagnetic signature communications for body-worn sensors and mission systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Wi-R BAN technology, integration, and development.
Wi-R BAN uses contained electric fields instead of radiated RF, delivering 50x better energy efficiency (0.2 nJ/bit vs 10+ nJ/bit). This enables multi-day continuous operation on small batteries while providing wire-like latency and physically secure communication.
