About GuRu Wireless
GuRu Wireless develops wireless power systems built around millimetre-wave energy transfer, originating in research at Caltech. Its architecture combines transmitting and receiving antennas, custom electronics and beam shaping to direct energy to a remote receiver. Customers can work with GuRu on integrating the power technology into their own equipment through engineering and licensing.
GuRu also develops complete small-drone surveillance solutions that combine an aircraft, command-and-control equipment and wireless power. This connects its power-transfer technology with persistent-flight applications for defense, security and public safety, alongside custom projects for industrial and commercial users.
