About ixana
Ixana is headquartered in West Lafayette, Indiana. The company emerged from foundational research on electro-quasistatic (EQS) communication conducted at Purdue University between 2016 and 2020, producing its first proof-of-concept silicon in 2021. It is led by a team of mixed-signal veterans including Shreyas Sen (CTO and inventor of Wi-R), Angik Sarkar (CEO), Shovan Maity (Head of Research), and Bob Twomey (EVP Sales). Ixana designs and ships ultra-low-power Wi-R silicon that uses localized electric fields to create a "wireless wire" for short-range, high-speed data links along a person, robot, or machine. Its production-grade XA-NFE2001 transceiver delivers 5 Mbit/s at 0.2 nJ/bit, with a 20 Mbit/s XA-NFE3001 in sampling. The company handles full-custom mixed-signal IC design, AI-accelerated tapeout cycles, silicon validation, and provides development kits to partners. The technology targets wearable AI (smart glasses, biosensor patches), medical and biosensing systems, robotics, automotive and industrial equipment, and mission-critical defense applications. Early partners include OTTO Engineering for tactical audio and radio integration, the U.S. Air Force and USSOCOM for augmented reality programs, and unnamed Tier-1 smartphone, wearables, and platform OEMs. Research collaborations continue with Purdue University and the NSF. Ixana was founded to break the energy-latency trade-off that limits continuous Physical AI, offering a "second nervous system" that is private by physics because the EQS field stays confined to the user's immediate space.
