Powercast Corporation, a leader in radio-frequency (RF)-based over-the-air wireless power-over-distance technology, announced that it has shipped 10 million wireless RF Powerharvester PCC110 chips in the last two years alone.
The company attributes this milestone to increased demand for wireless power-over-distance solu-tions which free devices from wires, batteries and placement restrictions such as the direct contact with a charging surface that the Qi wireless charging standard requires.
Powercast hits milestone shipping 10 million over-the-air wireless Powerharvester chips as global organizations increase demand for untethered devices free from wires, batteries and placement restrictions, such as the direct contact with a charging surface that the Qi wireless charging standard requires.
Uptick in demand spans wide range of applications, from IoT sensors, digital luggage tags, con-sumer electronics, logistics and more.
Powercast's technology enables untethered devices powered remotely (up to 80 feet), eliminating or reducing the need for batteries and wires, increasing functionality and efficiency, and providing device placement freedom.
As examples, IoT sensor networks can extend into remote locations where wiring and battery re-placement are impossible, consumer devices can charge over the air without touching a charging mat, and environmentally-friendly devices can use either rechargeable batteries or no batteries at all, therefore eliminating disposable batteries.
Powercast is helping companies ranging from small to some of the largest in the world create fea-ture-rich wireless devices. The company reports its 2022 bookings to date are already three times its 2021 bookings.
"The uptick in demand spans a wide range of applications, from IoT sensors, digital luggage tags, consumer electronics, logistics and more," said Charles Goetz, CEO of Powercast. "Highly-functional untethered devices that cut the wires and reduce battery e-waste resonate across all industries, and Powercast is where companies who are serious about RF wireless power over dis-tance engage for solutions."
The company's technology won a 2021 Sustainability Award for reducing battery e-waste.
