The absence of a reliable power source is one of the biggest impediments to the IoT future.
For IoT system integrators and IoT end users, who deploy low-power devices at scale and face the challenges of expensive installation and high lifetime maintenance costs, Teratonix develops a maintenance-free power source to replace batteries. We convert ambient radio waves, ubiquitously available in urban environments, to electricity.
By enabling the creation of self-powered devices
the Teratonix energy harvester:
-
Cuts lifetime maintenance expenses for wireless devices
by a factor of 10, compared to battery power supply
-
Eliminates hazardous battery waste
-
Enables multiple new IoT applications that were too expensive before
How we create value?
IoT manufacturers
Our research from Carnegie Mellon University proved that IoT end users are willing to pay
double price for maintenance-free solutions
Our device equips new IoT applications that
were previously too expensive to maintain
Our technology enables self-powered versions
of existing devices and opens new market
opportunities as a result
