Wi-Charge Readies Infrared Wireless Power System for IoT Devices | Light Reading
The Rehovot, Israel company delivers power using focused beams of infrared light to cover ranges of up to 250 square feet. The system requires a power connection for its transmitter, which converts the electricity to a line-of-sight infrared signal that transmits to a miniature photovoltaic cell (solar cell) that turns the light back to power.
“People have been trying to send wireless power since the late 1890s, a la Nikola Tesla,” Wi-Charge chief marketing officer (CMO) Yuval Boger told Light Reading on Tuesday.
