It is to proudly announce that Sirin Orbital Systems AG has generated a creative technical solution for protecting fauna from being exposed to RF Wireless Power transfer (WPT) beams. This novel concept – subject to a patent – guarantees the continuos operation of WPT links (i.e. no need to shutdown the wireless power links), and at the same time protects birds, insects, etc. from being exposed to high-power electromagnetic radiations.

This innovation revolutionizes the WPT application areas and shortens time-to-market for WPT products, as it enables safe and reliable high-power wireless power beaming for different short- to long-range terrestrial uses and also for space-to-ground applications in the context of Space-based Solar Power (SBSP), where wildlife in the vicinity of rectenna sites is of an utmost concern.

Our safe and reliable WPT technological concepts will fundamentally change the way and where we generate Clean Energy, manage and distribute it to end-users.

Thanks to five years of intense R&D on high-efficiency Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems, in summer 2024, Sirin Orbital Systems AG launched the first phase of target product development based on its low- to mid-range power (<W to W) WPT technologies. The intended products and their commercializations rely on direct customer orders and external/internal investments. SIRIN envisages three phases of WPT-tech development depending on the application areas, power- and range-level requirements of clients.

Sirin Orbital Systems AG’s WPT-tech were initially designed for European Space Agency (ESA) space missions, which are now mature to be implemented as breakthrough concepts for diverse terrestrial applications, enabling battery-free electronic devices and unlocking restrictions imposed by wires and battery life-time.
