WiGL and Energous Announce Developmental Milestone to Bring Touchless Wireless Power Transfer Networks to Market

WiGL and Energous Announce Developmental Milestone to Bring Touchless Wireless Power Transfer Networks to Market

Joint solution successfully completes FCC product safety compliance

HAMPTON, Va & SAN JOSE, Ca. – WiGL Inc (StartEngine: “WiGL”), a developer of touchless wireless charging for IoT devices, and Energous Corporation (NASDAQ: WATT), a leading developer of RF-based intelligent wireless power networks, today announced the next phase of their efforts to commercialize WiGL’s wirelessly powered IoT products.

WiGL and Energous have completed the third and final milestone of their partnership to develop and design WiGL’s touchless Wireless Power Transfer (tWPT) product, successfully meeting Federal Communication Commission (FCC) compliance. The WiGL final product is also designed for UL product safety compliance.

The WiGL project was funded by the Air Force Research Lab at the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in 2022 and last summer it entered the second phase of a multiyear contract with the U.S. DoD. The solution – in which Energous PowerBridge transmitters provide radio frequency-based (RF) wireless power over distance for WiGL’s tWPT networks – is now fully tested and certified after the recent completion of the product FCC certification. Additionally, Energous has delivered its PowerBridges to WiGL’s integration partner Guinn Partners for full system integration, an important step forward for the joint tWPT solution on its path towards mass production.

“Transitioning products developed for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to civilian markets is very exciting,” said Dr. Ahmad Glover, founder of WiGL. “While WiGL remains focused on delivering next-generation capabilities to the troops, using the Energous wireless power network technology, we see huge opportunities for tWPT for everyone on the planet.”

This WiGL’s Tx network focusing on civilian markets is a large part of the planned product release of the WiGL Wireless charging commercial products. WiGL’s tWPT network powered by Energous delivers a convenient wireless power solution to customers, removing the need for replaceable batteries and charging cables across IoT deployments. Energous’ regulatory expertise was instrumental in addressing requirements and certifications at this crucial step, including RF, EMC and Product Safety, among others.

“Designing and developing cutting-edge wireless power network solutions is the core of what Energous offers and achieving regulatory compliance is a critical step in bringing wirelessly powered products to market,” said Cesar Johnston, President and CEO of Energous. “Energous PowerBridges deliver wireless power over the air to IoT, reducing downtime, maintenance costs and toxic waste, while increasing range of coverage and overall efficiency. We’re excited to support WiGL’s commercialization in bringing these benefits to more projects aimed at solving a crucial power need for the growing IoT ecosystem.”

What is a Wiggle?

We often get asked, “How exactly does WiGL wireless power work?”

Well, it works just like WiFi! The networked WiGL-enabled transmitters send a

directed signal to a known receiver. Then the network of transmitters routes the

signal to another known receiver and converts it into a direct current to harvest

the power.

Once the power has been received, it is stored to be used later or to power your

device right away.

WiGL Smart Campus: Campus of the Future

The “city of the future” is a concept that has recently gained quite a bit of steam, as governments look to build exciting and new infrastructure based off forward-thinking and sustainable practices. While WiGL of course wants to be involved in these innovations, an idea of these projects that is sometimes overlooked is the campus of the future.

A college campus is the perfect microcosm of a city, with the largest even representing a city themselves and having their own public transportation methods. If done correctly, a campus could be the perfect next step for WiGL. College libraries and common buildings are filled with students desperate for outlets as they cram for finals, complete papers, or simply want to stay plugged-in as they study and listen to music.

The campus shops or Starbucks (a favorite of many) are always inundated with customers furiously tapping away on laptops. All these locations could be retrofitted with WiGL-enabled transceivers to help ease the access to power for students.

Just as WiFi signals are offered on campus, the WiGL network could be accessible at any student’s favorite study or meeting spot.

WiGL’s Software Makes its Commercial Debut

One of the keys to subscribing to a touchless Wireless Power Transfer (tWPT) network is software and Mobile Apps to control and manage the network. WiGL is honored to report the completion of the 1st generation of tWPT software and Mobile App. WiGL accomplishes this through a software application developed by the Rickard Consulting Group, Inc. (RCG).

RCG is a veteran-owned, small business with nearly two decades of experience providing critically needed, warfighter-focused services in a wide spectrum of government and commercial endeavors. RCG is uniquely qualified and structured to meet WiGL’s DoD needs. RCG has a large number of recently retired DoD warfighters spanning the spectrum of DoD disciplines. RCG, through its subject matter experts (SME), objectively define the “why” prior to any pursuit of the “what” by deftly combining the skills of software engineers to warfighter needs.

Building upon initial commercial offerings developing domain analytics and advanced visualizations for next generation DoD training applications. RCG’s construct of leveraging organic SMEs, and software development expertise offers a proven path to shifting the DoD paradigm.

The Meat of Subscribing and Streaming Wireless Power:

The WiGL Mobile App is user friendly with an intuitive user interface and supported on all major B2B platforms we are targeting; iOS, Android (Samsung/Pixel/etc), Web, Desktop, and Cloud/Internet enabled. The WiGL Mobile App synchs with the WiGL software control package and allows provisioning of the power device into nodes. Node(s) status is independent of the presence of receivers and starts directly after power application.

User commands consist of setting a mode to manual or automatic. In the manual mode, power nodes can be manually set to transmission. Meaning On or Off. In the automatic mode, the node power states are driven by receiver proximity, meaning… received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and unique RF ID. Once a power node is provisioned, the application displays node ID, location, mode, RSSI threshold, and power state.

One of the many exciting parts about WiGL’s software is the ability to integrate with our B2B partners and support the end user’s ability to subscribe and stream touchless wireless power. As with many popular Mobile Apps, WiGL will offer B2B partners the ease of access that comes with a 99% completed subscription package (last 1% is B2B integration and branding). As we’ve shared, subscriptions/streaming is a level of service tied to WiGL’s business model.

Subscribing to a WiGL-enabled network means quick access to the available node. Say goodbye to finding an outlet. Everything about WiGL software’s subscription options are tailored to the customer for faster more convenient and reliable service. Making WiGL an easy, and less risky partner for B2B customers interoperability.

WiGL’s Power Forward Devices

GREAT call with our Saltwater Generator (SWG) manufacturer today. (OBTW: they also make the highly popular Gel Blaster).

If we keep this up, WiGL is only a couple steps away from shelves. Super Excited!

Our SWG is not only born out of convenience for leisure outdoor activities, but also for the vital situations when the power goes out. As climates and weather around the world becomes increasingly unpredictable and storms become more devastating it’s clear that a single power grids can no longer be the only solution. Our SWG or WiGL eNERGY devices could be vital in times of crisis.

We have begun transitioning WiGL eNERGY from primarily a DoD device for Power Forward…to a commercially available disaster preparedness devices.  WiGL eNERGY can be used for hurricanes, tornados, flooding and/or other disasters…that turn the lights out. A portable WiGL eNERGY device will be critically important when gas or diesel generators aren’t able to get gas fuels.

Our SWG runs on water…a readily available resource.

Look for more SWG updates from WiGL and our partners in the coming days.

Power in the Infrastructure

With the United States is being forced to address aging infrastructure. Aging, failing infrastructure that can no longer keep up with the modern demand. And with the need to repair and replace… there is no better time than the present to innovate.

EVs are becoming more dominant as people look to avoid fossil fuel. So, it stands to reason an increased focus on charging of these vehicles would be in the best interest of governments everywhere.

In the (near) future, WiGL’s mesh technologies could be included in things such as roads, traffic light posts, bus terminals, and several other infrastructure renovations.

WiGL also sees the Army of EVs planned to hit our streets (soon) as potential transmitters. Efficient wireless power could flow to commuters at the ready and limit the need for timely wired charging stops. Whether the charging comes from the nearest EV or wirelessly to the nearest EV.

Stay tuned for Demo #5…

Wireless Charging Is the Holy Grail of Electric Vehicle World

Ahmad Glover, the enthusiastic president of WiGL, a small wireless electric transmission company, told me the military is extremely interested in wireless charging. Glover, an Air Force veteran, said the goal is to have forward bases equipped, during operations and in warfighting situations, so that troops can charge their electronics without plugging in. “The less a soldier has to carry the better,” he said.

WiGL is Going Glamping!

WiGL learned a lot during our latest demonstration for DoD. Enhancements we are making to SaltWater Generator (SWG) may revolutionize portable energy. But the SWG is proving to be bigger than just a power on demand system for DoD.

Being able to generation immediate, clean electrical power could be revolutionary for the consumer that love to spend their weekends exploring the outdoors. As the Internet of Things continues to grow and progress outside the bounds of City living…WiGL eNERGY needs expand our Total Serviceable Market (TAM), Service Available Market (SAM) and Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM) to include camper and glamping.

Using improvements designed for the military, the WiGL SWG offers the modern camper renewable, clean, sustainable power on the go.

Portable power without the hassle of having to carry burdensome or dangerous batteries. Wireless power derived just from a mixture of salt and water, able to feed necessities such as GPS locators, cellphones, electric lamps, laptops, small TVs…. whatever small devices might need power.
