Teratonix
Ambient Energy Harvesting
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 previously too expensive before

IoT-Market
Competition
Compared to the Teratonix energy harvester
Wired power supply
Installation expenses are 3-10x higher
Battery power supply
Lifetime maintenance expenses related to battery changes are up to 10x higher
Solar/Thermal/Mechanical
electro generators
Require access to a corresponding energy source, whereas ambient Radio waves are ubiquitously available in urban environments
Beamed RF power transfer
Has safety issues due to high transmitted power and limited distance range – Teratonix has no such issues
