Body blocking - the technical bottleneck we are solving
Body blocking is a key challenge for all wireless wearables. Caused when the human body blocks the wireless transmission path, body blocking results in unreliable connections, reduced communication ranges and dropout.
BodyWave™ antenna technology solves this by generating waves that flow efficiently around the body, supporting a communication link even when the body is blocking the signal. Resulting in unprecedented performance at a range of signals and in traditionally challenging RF environments.
Traditional antenna - Limited wireless coverage
BodyWave antenna - Complete wireless coverage
About BodyWave™
The BodyWave antenna is an On-Ground SMD antenna component optimised for wearable applications. The BodyWave antenna can produce BodyWaves which can help facilitate wireless communications when there is no direct line of sight with both on-body and off-body receivers.
Our BodyWave™ antenna technology is significantly better suited to wearable applications than the existing commercially available general purpose off-the-shelf antennas. BodyWave™ antennas are designed to increase coverage in directions obscured by the human body, with 10 dB – 20 dB increased link budget in those directions when compared to existing commercially available chip and printed antennas.
