GuRu Wireless Demonstrates World’s First Modular, Fully Synchronous Wireless Power Transfer System
A new generation of the company’s phased array architecture delivers the highest power at a distance.
Guru Wireless, Inc., the leading provider of adaptive, long-range wireless energy transfer solutions, introduces a new generation of its wireless power transfer architecture – the world’s first truly modular, large-scale, fully synchronous wireless power transfer system operating at 24GHz. The technology platform enables flexibility in building a variety of systems capable of delivering watts to kilowatts of wireless power over distances of up to several kilometers.
The GuRu Wireless architecture is based on the industry’s smallest proprietary 24GHz RF System-on-Package (SoP) modules that use the company’s proprietary RFICs assembled into arrays, or “tiles”. These tiles form the nodes of a network of synchronous phased array antennas to meet various use-case performance needs. The highly scalable platform uses proprietary Smart RF Lensing to focus the RF energy and enable steering and focusing of the power beams for unprecedented accuracy and efficiency.
The newly developed system includes precise and reliable timing synchronization, the key underlying technology that enables seamless operation of the tiled transmitters and directly leads to higher power capability.
“Wireless power transfer is unlocking new possibilities across a wide range of applications,” said Narbeh Derhacobian, CEO of GuRu Wireless. “For example, with GuRu’s technology, persistent ISR drones can fly untethered from a power source indefinitely, enhancing security for our armed forces. Our latest-generation architecture is purpose-built to enable rapid development and prototyping of wireless power beaming at a distance, specifically tailored for national security and defense applications.”
“GuRu Wireless’ innovative power transfer technology has the potential to enable new capabilities across multiple domains,” said Chris Moran, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin Ventures. “The advancement of wireless energy transmission aligns with our commitment to harness cutting-edge technologies to enable more agile, resilient, and connected systems to strengthen national security.”
