Powercast … Wireless Power for a Wireless World

Remote Powercaster

Powercast Corporation is a leading innovator of wireless power designed for a new class of defense, industrial and commercial electronics. Powercast delivers safe and controllable “power delivery systems” using common and well understood radio frequency technology. Our technology provides three distinct possibilities that revolutionize power supply to electronics.

1. Powercast provides the “highest ratio of power over distance” of any wireless power technology, from a few centimeters to many meters.

2. Powercast is the only alternative energy with three forms of distribution including; ambient power harvesting, point-to-point remote power transmission and “any to any power” networks.

3. Powercast provides an incredibly synergistic solution working with rechargeable batteries, where essentially Powercast provides the “Renewable Fuel” that uniquely enables devices to be engineered with “Lifetime Batteries.”

Powercast is dedicated to provide solutions that deliver milliWatts over meters, Watts over centimeters and RF energy harvesting. In addition to this, Powercast also is dedicated to serving defense, industrial and commercial market verticals with solutions in wireless lighting, wireless sensors, “lifetime batteries” and rechargeable handheld devices.In comparison to other alternative energy technologies, Powercast accomplishes power transmission in a unique manner.  Unlike Piezo, solar or kinetic power, Powercast technology can be “always on” and reliable.  Unlike Inductive power, Powercast technology is not constrained by size or heat in delivering greater power.  Finally, Powercast has the ability to deliver power through walls, ceilings and surfaces (rubber, plastic, plaster and wood).
