CNET : I’ve seen enough smart glasses, watches and rings to know that they don’t usually like playing together well. And it’s not just a question of combining interfaces — connection issues come up, too. Bluetooth connections can be janky, for example, especially when handling multiple devices.
I wasn’t aware of Ixana or Wi-R before. It’s a wireless protocol and chipset designed for extremely short-range connections, with higher bandwidth and lower latency between devices. For several years, the Indiana-based startup has been advancing these device-connecting ideas, including defense-focused work with the US Air Force and US Army. But now Ixana’s team says it’s ready to develop a more advanced version of its chipset that would allow glasses, watches, rings, earbuds and other wearables to share up to 20 megabits per second of bandwidth with one another, as long as they’re in close proximity on your body.
