GuRu Wireless has announced a mm-wave phased array with over 70,000 transmitters, intended to transmit power wirelessly to persistent drones. “Our current transmitter can deliver over a kilowatt of continuous power at distances exceeding 100 meters,” said company co-founder and CTO Behrooz Abiri. “For persistent operations, the system must be capable of delivering at least…

GuRu Wireless, a US company that’s developing advanced wireless power solutions for national security, defence and commercial applications, has announced the successful integration of more than 70,000 fully synchronised and electronically phase‑controlled transmitters into its latest Generator Unit (GU) array. This news marks the highest publicly known number of mm-Wave wireless power transmitters operating in a…

GuRu Wireless will demonstrate its wireless energy transfer system for enabling persistent flight of small uncrewed aerial systems (sUAS) during SOF Week 2025, the company announced in a statement. The company’s 24 GHz wireless power transfer platform is designed to keep sUAS airborne without the need for battery swaps, charging stops, or tethered connections, the statement…

By Narbeh Derhacobian In areas such as defense, national security, and public safety, Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS or drones) can provide unparalleled cost-effective capabilities in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). Their agility, ease of deployment, and ability to hover make these drones indispensable for missions requiring detailed situational awareness. Today’s sUAS, chiefly based on quadcopter drones,…

In a recent demonstration, GuRu Wireless used its wireless charging system to power an untethered drone 30 feet away. GuRu Wireless recently demonstrated its wireless power transfer system powering an untethered drone from 30 feet away. This demonstration highlighted the practicality of long-range energy transfer and how it integrates power delivery with communication. GuRu attached…

GuRu Wireless, a leading provider of adaptive, long-range wireless energy transfer solutions, has introduced a new generation of its wireless power transfer architecture – the world's first true modular, large scale, fully synchronous wireless power transfer system that operates at 24 GHz. The technology platform enables the flexibility to build a variety of systems, capable…

By: Narbeh Derhacobian In my last article, I shared what we mean by ‘wireless power transfer’ and discussed some of the challenges to commercial availability of such technology. Why hasn’t wireless power taken off yet in the mainstream? As I discussed, it’s not about technology readiness; the technology is mature and ready for productization. But there…

By Narbeh Derhacobian When I tell people I work in wireless power transfer technology, the first question I hear is, “What exactly is wireless power?” This is usually followed by, “Why hasn’t this technology taken off yet?” In this blog, we’ll explore the basics of wireless energy and offer insights into why it hasn't gone mainstream—yet. Understanding…

Startup GuRu Wireless Inc. (Pasadena, Calif.) is looking to invigorate the market for wireless power transfer with its beam-formed version of technology. GuRu Wireless was spun out of Caltech in Pasadena in 2017. The name derives from the pairing of a generating unit (GU) and a receiving unit (RU), which is at the heart of…

GuRu Wireless was spun out of Caltech in Pasadena in 2017. The name derives from the pairing of a generating unit (GU) and a receiving unit (RU), which is at the heart of the company’s offer. This allows the deliver of power ranging from a few watts to a couple of hundred watts across distances…

The US Department of Energy is aiming to decarbonize millions of buildings with an assist from new electrochromatic window glazing, but there’s a hitch. The energy efficient glazing requires expensive new wiring to make it work. Or, does it? The California startup GuRu Wireless aims to apply its miniaturized, wireless energy transfer system to the…
