Battery-free BLE sensor beacon wirelessly powered over 120 ft away
Powercast Corporation and InPlay have created a platform for designing battery-free, maintenance-free, long-range wireless IoT sensor systems that deploy easily for monitoring in the retail, medical, warehousing, and industrial IoT markets. Powercast (booth #641) and InPlay (booth #333) will both demonstrate at Sensors Converge in San Jose how Powercast’s RF-to-DC power harvesting technology is a compelling new option […]
Development kit builds power-over-distance wireless power transmitters
Powercast Corporation announced that it has begun shipping its three-watt, Bluetooth-approved PowerSpot transmitter which is the industry’s first that works in the far field (up to 80 feet) to charge multiple consumer devices over the air – no charging mats needed. Powercast began production of its PowerSpot transmitter after receiving FCC (ID: YESTX91503) and ISED (Canada […]
How do you make an RF energy harvester even better?
For Powercast, whose Powerharvester receiver (PCC110) has been deployed in industrial and commercial systems for seven years, today’s answer is reduce the footprint and volume. The company’s new PCC114 receiver chip’s footprint (1 x 0.6 x 0.3 mm) is seven times smaller than the PCC110 (2 x 2.1 x 0.9 mm) and has 20 times […]
Ultra-thin RF-to-dc converter IC charges devices wirelessly
Powercast Corporation announced a smaller Powerharvester wireless power receiver and RF-to-DC converter chip (PCC114) for its Powerharvester Chipset (comprised of a wireless power receiver chip and complementary boost converter IC). Designed for embedding in space-constrained consumer designs like smart cards or hearing aids, the new chip builds on Powercast’s existing Powerharvester receiver (PCC110), which has […]
