Powercast Unveils Wirelessly-Powered Products at CES: Smart Lacrosse Ball, Award-Winning Home Sensors, Magnetic Resonance Applications and More
Friday, January 10, 2025
As the only one-stop shop for wireless power, Powercast is showcasing a diverse portfolio of sustainable devices--including smart sports equipment, home sensors, and industrial applications--that eliminate battery maintenance and reduce environmental impact
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Poised for explosive growth, the wireless power market is projected to reach US $52.4 billion by 2030. Leading this trend, Powercast Corporation--the industry's only one-stop shop--will showcase its latest wirelessly-powered innovations at CES 2025 (Venetian Expo, booth #51716, January 7-10, Las Vegas). "We're experiencing growing demand as both industrial and consumer markets prioritize sustainable and efficient power solutions," explains Charles Greene, Ph.D., COO and CTO of Powercast, "which fuels our commitment to continuous innovation in wireless power technology."
Experience the Future of Wireless Power with Powercast at CES 2025
Some of the wirelessly-powered products that Powercast will showcase include:
-- Magnetic Resonance Over-the-Air Charging: Powercast is joining forces
with Etherdyne Technologies (ETI) to advance wireless power transfer
technology in 2025. In the sneak peek at CES, the companies will
demonstrate the Wire-Free Power(TM) Minimalist Desk which is capable of
providing up to 100 Watts of power to multiple devices simultaneously,
all without wires. The desk demonstration features a computer monitor,
laptop charging stand, desk lamp, and Qi-compatible phone charger, all
powered wirelessly over the air using magnetic resonance technology. "We
are excited to team with Powercast, combining our Wire-Free Power(TM)
technology with Powercast's vision of delivering ubiquitous wire-free
products," said Jeff Yen, Co-Founder and CEO of ETI. "ETI's system
creates a 3D magnetic energy field that covers spaces as small as a
shoebox (0.1 cubic meters) or as large as an entire room (200 cubic
meters), providing flexibility for manufacturers developing wire-free,
battery-free devices."
-- R1 Smart Lacrosse Ball with Over-the-Air RF (Radio Frequency) Charging:
The Smart Lacrosse Ball, the first product built on the SmartCore
platform crafted by Get Reps, combines technology with the durability
and performance of a traditional lacrosse ball. High-precision
accelerometers and gyroscopes embedded in the SmartCore track shot
speed, reps, release metrics, and ball movement, and the analytics data
automatically updates via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to a phone app to
provide actionable insights to players and coaches to enhance
performance. "Powercast's advanced RF wireless charging technology is a
perfect power solution for the smart ball because it can charge the
battery through a ball, keeping the design and balance, because it needs
no external charging ports or coils," said Joe Pompo, Co-Founder/CEO at
Get Reps. "We are excited to implement this technology into other sports
balls in 2025."
-- Wireless Smart Home Automation Sensor Technology with Over-the-Air RF
Charging: A CES Innovation Awards Honoree in the Sustainability/Energy
Category, this technology lets manufacturers create and perpetually
power sustainable, untethered, battery-free wireless smart home
automation sensors (window, door, temperature, light, humidity, water,
and motion sensors), that will: 1) integrate into smart-home ecosystems
(Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings) using Matter
(connectivity standard) and Thread (wireless protocol), 2) install
anywhere, 3) eliminate the need for expensive home wiring, and 4)
eliminate batteries and their inconvenient, expensive maintenance.
Powercast is demonstrating two sensors - water detection and window
position - at CES.
Powering a Battery-Free Future
Powercast empowers its partners to create sustainable, wirelessly-powered electronic devices--with or without rechargeable batteries--eliminating the inconvenience and expense of battery maintenance while significantly reducing the environmental impact of disposable batteries. This approach keeps batteries out of landfills and promotes a more sustainable future.
Other wirelessly-powered product demos displayed at CES will include:
-- Battery-free tire monitoring sensors powered over the air using RF,
which can even penetrate rubber, that can be sealed into tires and other
products that are either hard to access or in motion.
-- Provided via Powercast's partnership with Powermat, powerful,
contact-based SmartInductive(TM) charging designed for power-hungry
products such as drones, robots, power tools, micro-mobility and medical
devices.
-- RFID readers are already installed in the retail, warehousing and
logistics industries - and now also used by the Digital Product Passport
(DPP) initiative passed by the EU - and can serve as the RF power source
for Powercast to power products instead of having to install RF
transmitters.
"Our vision is a world where power is ubiquitous, sustainable, wire-free, and seamlessly accessible," states Greene. "Our ultimate goal is true wireless freedom through an ecosystem of connected transmitters and receivers, both in the public and private domains, which provide people, products and machines the ability to move around freely with seamless access to power."
