Business Description
Fully powered, Innovative, and Wireless
touchless Wireless Power Transfer (tWPT): WiGL’s primary aim is to help the world rethink how we use electrical power. Imagine one day getting electrical power the same way we wirelessly get onto internet networks today. Log onto an over-the-air wireless electrical power WiGL network and power or recharge your devices while you use them on the move.
Innovation (eNERGY): WiGL Inc., the main shareholder of WiGL eNERGY inc., is rethinking how electrical power is created. Using emerging WiGL Inc. and WiGL eNERGY Inc. technologies, WiGL Inc. is creating a family of products that create, wirelessly transmit and/or store electrical power to recharge IoT devices. From hand-held WiGL eNERGY saltwater powered generators (SWG) used to recharge cellphones…to…suitcase sized SWGs that replace solar panels, WiGL is changing the future.
Our patented tWPT technologies are seeking to be incredibly efficient by using the same spectrum of radio signal networks that deliver radio, WiFi, radar, light and safe laser. Our versatile capabilities were successfully demonstrated at VA Tech Research Center’s Tech Talk in 2020 and successfully used by the US Air Force at Andersen AFB and Altus AFB in 2023. Just like WiFi, we envision WiGL being a household name in a $25 billion charging solution market.

WiGL’ing your devices
Imagine spending hours on the phone and by the end of the day, your smart devices are still charged without you ever having to think about it. Imagine a workplace where your team must stay connected throughout the workday, and by the end of the day, not one team member has a dead battery on their devices; phones, laptops, tablets, Ipads, key fobs, earbuds, headphones. All still charged. Imagine going off the grid (no access to electrical outlets) and your batteries stay recharged 24/7.
WiGL tWPT works just like traditional WiFi. However, instead of transmitting and receiving WiFi data, a WiGL enabled transmitter (Tx) network uses the same raw radio frequency (RF) as noise but harvests the RF noise as raw power.
By working with our partners for Federal Communication Commission (FCC) approved WiGL-enabled Tx’s, these devices build an adhoc networks that transmits the RF to WiGL-enabled receivers (Rx) on the network. Our Rx’s are connected to or within a smart device to recharge the powerbank that in turn recharges end user devices. Like cellphones, WiGL Tx networks are smartly connected allowing for near endless distance. To support smarter, greener power.
*The product described is a prototype not yet available to the general market.
Problem
Limited Battery Technologies can’t keep up with loT
IoT devices operate 24/7, mainly operated by batteries. However, even the latest battery technology has limited autonomy, long charge-times, high costs, harsh environmental impact, and risks of accidents. All of these issues can restrain the power and potential to fully implement IoT into our lives. Today’s definition of wireless must also include wireless electrical power networks to overcome battery limitations or 24/7 mobile power needs.

Solution
Revolutionizing how we power our future
Portable electronic devices are at the heart of the IoT revolution.
At WiGL, and with your help, we’re aiming to shift the paradigm to where IoT devices are no longer dependent on tethered recharging and their drawbacks. This way, our customers can realize the full potential of IoT, with invaluable benefits for people, companies, and governments. WiGL aims to become an essential mobile network service provider.

Business Model
All-inclusive software subscription and hardware B2B model
We plan to generate revenue through the several pillars:
- Software subscription fees range from $6.99 to $29.99 per month. For the B2B network channels and traditional subscriptions, WiGL will earn from service providers 10-20% of transaction fees of the software subscription.
- Hardware licenses, charging ≥$0.20 for each device containing a WiGL transmitter and ≥$0.10 for each embedded or external WiGL receiver. The low pricing strategy helps us to get to market quickly and expand our core revenue drivers.
- Direct equipment sales that commercialize our products with WiGL technologies in partnership with WiGL eNERGY Inc. Devices will range from $10 to $250. WiGL also plans to sell other products like smart clothing, WiGL Swag, drinks and other promotional novelties.
- Trademark licensing integrates WiGL into all wirelessly chargeable products with non-exclusive models. Like our software and hardware approach, the goal is to offer WiGL’s trademarked intellectual property (IP) at a very low introductory price to aid in our long-term strategy of name dominance for wireless power naming rights.
*All revenue channels are planned; actual results may differ and are not guaranteed.
From prototypes to MVPs
WiGL is transitioning from early developmental stages to mass production and commercialization. Over the past few years we partnered with Energous, PowerCast, EarlyX, Guinn Partners, and others to build exciting new minimally viable products (MVP) based on our prototypes. Our main focus has been building the systems needed to create the network.
With our partners, we have set up commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware to build the WiGL-enabled Tx networks. Their advances in tWPT technologies are fast-tracking WiGL going global. WiGL has been selected to advance the tWPT technologies from US government use to commercial applications. As part of Task 7 and 8 of one of our previous DoD contracts, we provided the US Department of Defense our plan to go from US military MVPs to products on store shelves; tWPT networks, LED lights, eNERGY water bottles…and so much more. So far we’re working on:
- 1. WiGL enabled transmitters that plugs into a home or business electrical outlet
- 2. WiGL enabled transmitters that plugs into renewable energy outlets SWGs
- 3. WiGL enabled powerbank receivers that recharge your battery on the move
- 4. WiGL-enabled network; 1st product being holiday lights and Christmas Trees
Via the Tactical Financing (TACFI) from DoD, WiGL Inc. has been contracted to advance the technologies from government use to commercial applications. Then we will need to methodically sell licenses, create end-user products, and/or form strong partnerships with market leaders, through strategic and successful demonstrations of WiGL on manufacturers’ existing products and increase our sales representatives.
Once we reach the global commercial launch, in addition to having B2B WiGL-enabled products and new business acquisitions, we plan to build out our own well-supported and trained representatives to supplement and support partner sales resources in order to gain traction.
Market Projection
The multibillion-dollar IoT and charging solutions markets grow remarkably
The wireless and wired charging solutions market was estimated to grow to $25 billion in 2022. (Source) The massive adoption of IoT, with 11 billion devices (Source) already connected and 15 billion estimated by 2027-2030 drives this remarkable growth. (Source)
With an already growing outlook, WiGL plans to significantly expand the tWPT market even beyond current predictions. Our goal is to completely replace the traditional wired segment, yielding a total available market of over $49 billion.
Competition
Current and future competitive advantages
WiGL’s primary advantages are its patented wireless charging range, directed energy methods, mesh networking capabilities, and autonomous power, while you move. Though Energous and Huawei are WiGL’s closest tWPT competitors, their single transmitter technologies do not have the long-distance range capabilities as does WiGL’s network of multiple-transmitters…with our vision of building near infinite mobility.
Why not? Because WiGL’s patented networking method locks our competitors out of being able to connect their Tx’s to gain unlimited distances. Hence the reason some of our competitors have partnered with WiGL.
Lastly, and most important to gain market dominance…WiGL has a cool name.
By 2030, we hope the world will have a single name for forms of wireless power–WiGL is on a laser-focused, military-like mission to be that name!
By 2030, we hope the world will have a single name for forms of wireless power–WiGL is on a laser-focused, military-like mission to be that name!

…and many more in the queue
We are positioned to ward off the competition with our existing utility patents which effectively blocks out those that seek to leverage tWPT technology for uncoupled energy transfer networks. WiGL has a technology development lead time of engineering and prototyping for Department of Defense applications. And as part of our software development, we are seeking to capture the space in and around electrical energy transactions.
By building the umbrella over all types of wireless power, and acquiring existing businesses and property, WiGL Inc seeks to be the first to claim name and market dominance for all things wireless power related. Making WiGL synonymous with “all” wireless power.
Think of it this way, in the near future, we want customers to ask:
“Do you have WiFi? Do you offer WiGL?” and are you on the WiGL Blockchain or node?
Traction & Customers
Patented technologies, with strong traction, and revenue
In 2020, WiGL was awarded a tWPT contract to demonstrate WiGL in a jet fighter helmet. As a spin off from that effort, WiGL then proved that we can recharge a cellphone during VA Tech Research Park’s Tech Talk. Soon after, WiGL was selected and funded under an AFWERX Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to determine specific applications of WiGL for the US Air Force. WiGL was then awarded an AFWERX SBIR Phase II for further military applications of wireless power networks.
Since then, WiGL has been awarded additional Air Force contracts, leading to multi-year Tactical Financing (TACFI). Under the TACFI, WiGL has been contracted to provide:
“Adaptation of Demo #4 from AFWERX SBIR II to enable the technology for iPhones, expeditionary lighting and vehicle batteries charging (Demo #6).”
In layman’s terms that means:
a) enable the technology for iPhones
b) expeditionary lighting via WiGL-enabled tWPT Networking (commercial product xmas tree)
c) vehicle batteries charging via the SWG + Internal Batteries
