WATT vs IPWR Comparison

Energous Corp has developed scalable, over-the-air Wireless Power Network (WPN) technology that integrates semiconductor chipsets, software controls, hardware designs, and antenna systems to enable radio frequency (RF)-based charging for ambient Internet of Things (ambient IoT) devices, transforming supply chain capabilities from limited tracking to overall business intelligence. The WPN technology consists of transmitter systems, receiver integrated circuits, and supporting software designed to deliver power and data to battery-free IoT devices across a range of operating distances and power levels. Its applications include retail sensors, electronic shelf labels (ESLs), asset trackers, air quality monitors, motion detectors, and other monitoring solutions.

Ideal Power Inc is engaged in the development of its broadly patented bidirectional power switches, creating efficient and ecofriendly energy control solutions for electric vehicles, electric vehicle charging, renewable energy, energy storage, UPS / data center, solid-state circuit breaker and other industrial and military applications. The company is focused on its patented Bidirectional, Bipolar Junction Transistor (B-TRAN) semiconductor technology. B-TRAN is a double-sided bidirectional AC switchable to deliver substantial performance improvements over conventional power semiconductors. The primary raw material used in the fabrication of B-TRAN devices is silicon wafers.
