Adhoc Mobile Power Connectivity Using a Wireless Power Transmission Grid

Subject

Wireless Charging; Mobile Devices; Wearables

Description

Wireless charging of devices has significant outcomes for mobile devices, IoT devices and wearables. Existing technologies consider using Point to Point type wireless transfer from a transmitter Tx (node that is sending Power) to a receiver Rx (node that receives power), limiting the coverage area for devices. As a result, existing systems are forced to use near-field coupling to charge such devices. The fundamental limitation is also that such methods limit assigning to a small hotspot. In partnership with Wireless Electrical Grid LANs (WiGL pronounced “wiggle”), we demonstrate patented Ad-hoc mesh networking method (s) to provide wireless recharging at over 5 feet from the source, while allowing significant lateral movement of the receiver on the WiGL (Wireless Grid LAN or local area network).
