PowerBridge Pro Transmitter Drives Nationwide Rollout of Wireless Power Networks
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energous Corporation d/b/a Energous Wireless Power Solutions (NASDAQ: WATT), a leader in scalable, over-the-air (OTA) wireless power networks (WPNs), today announced the acceleration of its deployment timeline with a Fortune 10 multinational retailer. This implementation is part of an infrastructure modernization initiative aimed at upgrading approximately 4,700 retail locations across the United States.
The rollout features the Energous PowerBridge Pro transmitter, a cornerstone of the retailer’s new WPN program. Since commencing the deployment phase in 2024, Energous has shipped over 4,000 PowerBridge Pro units for this project. Installation began in early 2025, with plans to equip over 500 stores and multiple grocery distribution centers by the end of fiscal year 2025. This deployment is designed to improve supply chain visibility and streamline inventory management for perishable and dry goods assets by enabling real-time asset tracking and full-scale automation across the customer’s entire operation, with 24/7/365 data processing, providing continuous insights into inventory health, operational efficiencies, and potential risks.
"We’re thrilled to achieve this pivotal milestone in the commercial adoption of our PowerBridge Pro transmitter technology," said Mallorie Burak, CEO and CFO of Energous Wireless Power Solutions. "Since launching our initial Proof of Concept with this customer in 2023, we’ve worked hand-in-hand to deliver a comprehensive track and trace solution that exceeds expectations. Our WPN technology not only achieves four times the power output of our competition it also enables up to 99 percent visibility of tracked assets and inventory, compared to much lower values achieved with competitive products. From warehouse to store, we are meeting this retailer’s rigorous performance standards and KPIs."
Burak added, "The compelling results from our pilot program fueled the expansion of our partnership, growing from perishable goods to now include dry goods distribution. This success was a driving factor in the retailer’s decision to roll out our WPN technology nationwide. Our PowerBridge Pro transmitters are set to transform grocery distribution by providing always-on access to critical data, improving visibility and control, and reducing reliance on batteries for smarter, more sustainable operations. As a core component of this retailer’s modernization strategy, our advanced technology positions us to play a key role in every phase of this groundbreaking program across more than 4,700 U.S. locations. This flagship deployment is expected to serve as a shining example for other large enterprises to follow."
