Insights
Energous's new PowerBridgeMOD and PowerBridge PRO+ represent meaningful technological evolution in wireless power network (WPN) transmitters. The AI-driven PowerBridgeMOD introduces adaptive antenna management that could address key challenges in wireless power deployment across variable environments. The system's continuous analysis of asset activity to optimize antenna sequences demonstrates a shift from static to dynamic power transmission - crucial for real-world industrial applications where conditions constantly change.
The integrated gateway in PowerBridge PRO+ addresses a significant pain point in IoT deployments: hardware proliferation. By consolidating power transmission and data communication functions, Energous is tackling deployment complexity issues that have historically wireless power adoption in enterprise environments.
The technical approach aims to reduce total cost of ownership through two key mechanisms: reducing backup battery dependence and minimizing physical infrastructure requirements. These pain points have been major barriers to scaled WPN deployment in logistics applications. However, the extended commercialization timeline (Q4 2025) gives competitors substantial runway to develop competing solutions, and the lack of technical specifications on power efficiency improvements leaves questions about real-world performance advantages.
This product announcement from Energous introduces potentially valuable additions to their PowerBridge portfolio but comes with significant caveats for investors. As a microcap company (
The emphasis on reducing total cost of ownership addresses a critical adoption barrier for wireless power technology in enterprise settings. The integration of AI-driven optimization and consolidated gateway functionality appears strategically sound for targeting enterprise customers managing complex supply chains.
However, the commercialization timeline is extended, with proofs of concept beginning in Q2 2025 and production in Q4 2025 - placing any meaningful revenue impact well over a year away. The announcement lacks specific customer commitments, pricing details, or projected financial contribution, making ROI assessment difficult.
For a company with Energous's resources, execution will be paramount. The market has historically been skeptical of wireless power commercialization timelines, and this announcement, while technically promising, doesn't immediately address the company's near-term financial position or provide evidence of accelerating customer adoption.
The new Energous PowerBridgeMOD offers flexibility and use case adaptability, as it can be deployed in a variety of applications, pushing the boundaries of asset tracking and data management. This adaptable transmitter solution, equipped with clusters of “smart” antennas, will help boost the visibility of tags and sensors in any IoT environment, such as transportation, fixed infrastructure, and point of entry/exit. The modular transmitter solution is controlled by an AI-backed, cloud-based software platform that continuously analyzes asset activity to optimize the operational sequence of the antennas. For complex and dynamic operational flows, the PowerBridgeMOD not only captures asset tracking through identified zones but also improves the overall power consumption of the transmitters, maximizing the transmitter performance required to most effectively manage the required power transmission unique to a customer’s specific use case or application. The adaptive nature of this novel solution enables a real-time feedback loop that continuously surveys key performance parameters (“KPP”) set by the customer. This enables businesses to digitally monitor their supply chain network using advanced AI-driven technology to proactively address issues, whether on the road or in a warehouse, to help mitigate the risk of inventory loss.
In addition, the company has introduced a new PowerBridge PRO+ transmitter with an integrated gateway to provide our customers with a consolidated wireless power solution. The transmitter is designed to further minimize the amount of infrastructure hardware required when deploying our WPN technology in customer applications. This transmitter unit contains all of the desired features of the PowerBridge PRO, a rugged enterprise solution with 2W output power in WPT band and 8W EIRP, with added WiFi capability to report data seamlessly from visible tags and sensors to our cloud platform in real time.
For large enterprises managing expansive supply chain infrastructures - where assets move through warehouses, distribution centers, and vehicles - implementing WPN solutions that include innovative technology, like the PowerBridgeMOD and PowerBridge PRO+, significantly reduces the entity’s total cost of ownership. Energous solutions reduce the reliance on backup batteries in transportation settings and minimize the number of chandelier and mounting brackets required for deployments in fixed locations, which can often exceed the cost of the transmitters themselves, providing customers with a scalable solution at an attractive investment point.
The PowerBridge transmitter product portfolio provides an ideal, cost-effective solution that can enhance asset visibility across a broad range of customized applications, delivering continuous access to wireless power over-the-air and at a distance, enabling a constant stream of real-time data while critical inventory is in transit. Proofs of Concept for the new transmitters are scheduled to begin as early as Q2 2025, with plans to commence commercial production of the products during Q4 of 2025.
“Our expanded suite of PowerBridge transmitters is designed to ensure that companies are armed with the most sophisticated means of managing their operations in an increasingly complex asset management landscape. Releasing the PowerBridgeMOD and PowerBridge PRO+ with integrated gateway underscores our commitment to providing companies with state-of-the-art technology to automate and proactively monitor their operations in a scalable way, while keeping total cost of ownership low,” said Mallorie Burak, CEO and CFO, Energous Wireless Power Solutions. “Understanding that each company’s inventory and operating environment is unique, Energous has prioritized taking a market driven approach to innovation, providing advanced, AI driven WPN solutions requiring minimal investment to scale.”
