Research abstract

Ixana is delivering the next revolution in data transfer and networking capabilities and ushering in a new era with Wi-R - a new game changing ability to securely and efficiently transmit data between devices and individuals. Wi-R is fundamentally new and is the only wireless data transfer protocol with no appreciable signal leakage. Data can be transferred simply through surface contact over a human body length or close proximity. Integration and testing are under way with 3 of the largest 5 tech companies. These capabilities are patented by Ixana, revolutionizing the way data is transferred (100x efficiency, 10x higher speed, and 100x more physically secure than incumbent methods such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or ISW), unlocking new capabilities via Wi-R data transfer to improve deployment, retrieval, and real time coordination needs such as autonomous drone coordination (e.g., drone swarming).
