Motorized Shades Problem
Battery life of motorized shades creates a poor user experience
- Short battery life (less than 6 months) causes outages and limits scaling of products
- Replacing and recharging batteries is highly inconvenient
Motorized Shades Solution
- AeroCharge patented wireless power technology allows motorized shades to be powered on at all times and never run out of charge
- Shade battery charges over-the-air up to 12 feet away from power source
- System operates in unlicensed spectrum without causing interference to other wireless electronics
- Compliant with FCC safety standards
- No line of sight needed
Product Integration
- Receiver is integrated on one or multiple sides of a device
- Delivered power at 6 feet: 2 mW per device (50 mWh - 6V / 8 mAh over a 24 hour period)
Uses Cases
Motorized Shades
Self-Dimming Window Glass
Motorized Awnings
