The New Standard in Antennas for Audio Wearables
Nothing kills brand trust like an audio drop-out. Our robust antennas elevate wearable Non-Line-of-Sight performance by extending range and reducing signal fade or loss. This means your audio devices can offer broader coverage and unbeaten wireless reliability. With BodyWave™ UWB antennas, your audio customers can rely on uncompressed wireless audio with linear CD-quality 16-bit 44.1 kHz sound.

Body Blocking—the Bottleneck for Wireless Wearable Audio Applications
Wireless audio wearables depend on the reliability of the connection between the audio output and the receiving device. However, the human body is a challenging platform for any wireless technology, reducing communication ranges and introducing dropouts.
Conventional workarounds mean compromises: pricier setups, hungrier batteries, or throttled data. None conquer the real enemy—body blocking.
BodyWave™—Uncompromised Wireless Audio Performance
As the only custom-engineered antenna for minimizing signal loss in wearables, BodyWave™ delivers high radiation efficiency, detuning immunity, and our unique BodyWave™ propagation.
BodyWave™ antenna technology overcomes body blocking and other key challenges in wireless wearable audio:
- Audio quality
- Battery life limitations
- Range throttling
BodyWave™ Use Case: Hi-Resolution Low Latency Ultra-Wideband Wireless Audio
UWB has the potential to offer linear CD quality, 16-bit 44.1 kHz uncompressed wireless audio. It offers low latency of under 5 milliseconds end-to-end and low power—but dropouts from body blocking and detuning make UWB challenging for body-worn audio applications.
BodyWave™ antennas overcome the reliability barrier, delivering 10-20 db increased link budget for repeatable Non-Line-of-Sight wireless performance and glitch-free ranges of up to 15 meters.
BodyWave™ Use Case: Professional Audio and Live Performance
Live performance environments rely on robust, real-time audio connections. However, roaming artists and noisy RF environments make live performance challenging for wireless wearables.
By delivering 10-20db increased link budget in Non-Line-of-Sight, BodyWave™ antennas maintain coverage in directions normally obscured by the body. In live performance environments this means:
- An extended communication range, meaning freedom for the wearer to move without dropouts
- Wireless performance with no compromises on latency or power consumption
BodyWave™ Use Case: Consumer Audio and Gaming
By delivering an increased link budget of 10-20 dB in non-line-of-sight applications, BodyWave™ antennas boost the wireless experience for consumer audio:
- Earbuds and headphones that stay connected to a cellphone even when carried in the back pocket
- Reliable, low-latency gaming headsets without no trade-offs in power consumption or audio quality
