Tech 101: Power Beaming

Power beaming uses high-intensity light generated by a laser “transmitter” to transfer power wirelessly, at great distance. It delivers safe, clean and reliable persistent power, even in the most austere and physically challenging environments.. These systems can beam up to kilowatts of power—with the versatility of flexible site implementation and a fixed or moving transmitter and receiver. By delivering this “whenever/wherever” connection, power beaming becomes a key enabler of the next wave of connectivity. It is an emerging technology that could reshape how we generate and distribute energy and how our devices and autonomous systems are applied.
