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
