Teratonix

        Ambient Energy Harvesting

Energy Is Everywhere

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

Teratonix energy harvester is based on the proprietary ultra-high speed diode, developed at Carnegie Mellon University. The fundamentally new production approach developed by Teratonix allows unmatched diode sensitivity, enabling broadband ambient RF-energy harvesting.

Teratonix serves a two-sided IoT market

IoT manufacturers

Reach IoT end users who are willing to pay double for maintenance-free solutions

Enable new IoT applications that were previously too expensive to maintain

Open new markets for self-powered versions of existing devices
