Wi-Charge

Wi-Charge delivers long-range wireless power using safe, directed infrared light, eliminating charging cables, dead batteries, and the maintenance burden that limits where technology can go. The company AirCord technology transmits power through the air using directional infrared beams that are invisible to the eye and safe for everyone, with dynamic beam steering algorithms that track devices and adjust beam direction automatically in real-time, supporting multiple devices from a single transmitter. Wi-Charge is the first and only commercially available room-scale wireless power solution, delivering power across distances of 30+ feet. The company licenses its transmitter platform and compact receiver modules to OEMs across industries, turning any battery-powered device into a wirelessly powered one. Applications include smart locks with always-on access without battery swaps, digital signage with wire-free displays, security cameras with continuous power where wiring is difficult, electric shades without opening walls, smart sensors with fewer maintenance routes, smartphones for over-the-air charging, AR glasses with less battery constraint, smart rings with longer useful life, and game controllers that stay charged in the background. Wi-Charge first consumer product, the Encode Wireless Power Kit, is shipping to customers across the US, with deployments including Schlage Encode smart locks in Boston, Alfred smart locks in Dallas, and WI-Spot retail displays in Plano, TX. The company holds 200+ patents and applications, with 3M field hours of operation, and is a five-time CES Innovation Award winner. Wi-Charge technology is certified safe for homes, offices, and commercial spaces across North America, Europe, and Asia. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Rehovot, Israel, Wi-Charge has raised approximately $23 million in Series C funding from investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Terra Venture Partners, Norwest, EIC Fund, Standard Industries, European Innovation Council, Tech Square Ventures, and Champel Capital.
