Reach

Major milestone for Reach! Today we announced the completion of Phase II of a United States Air Force Research Laboratory Future Force Energy Campaign, where we demonstrated the world’s first wireless power relays. This groundbreaking technology extends the range and power levels of Wireless Power Transfer (WPT), enabling a flexible, resilient power network for critical applications. During a live demo for government and industry partners at our Redwood City, CA headquarters, Reach showcased two world-first relays—the Passive Relay Node (PRN) and the Active Power Mesh Node (PMN). These innovative relays can refocus, extend, and dynamically redirect RF power beams. This technology opens new doors for powering devices in remote, austere, and infrastructure-degraded environments. From defense to critical infrastructure and beyond, our power relays represent a significant step toward a true wireless energy web.

Reach is honored to welcome U.S. Navy Rear Admiral (Ret.) James Kirk to our Government Advisory Board! A distinguished leader with 30+ years of service, including command of Expeditionary Strike Group 3, Rear Adm. Kirk brings invaluable expertise to help advance our delivery of cutting-edge wireless Power-at-a-Distance solutions to the Department of Defense, and other key government partners. He joins an incredible team of defense leaders, including U.S. Army Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Clay Hutmacher, former USSOCOM Acquisition Exec Jim Smith, and former Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) Energy Portfolio Director, Benjamin Richardson, to help drive innovation in operational energy for persistent unmanned systems and sensors. Welcome aboard, Admiral! https://hubs.la/Q02_6dX20 #WirelessPower #DefenseInnovation #PowerBeaming

This week Reach is proud to participate in the #DoD Energy and Environment Innovation Symposium in Washington, DC. Our founder and CEO Chris Davlantes and President/GTM Jeff White were invited to deliver a presentation and live demonstration of our power beaming technology during the Operational Energy - Innovation Directorate (OE-I) Operational Energy Demand Reduction session. We were also thrilled to showcase six of our projects funded by OECIF during the symposium's poster session. OECIF is the DoD’s premier joint operational energy investment program. The mission of the OECIF program is to guide operational energy innovation via targeted S&T investments. Reach is excited to be part of this vital conversation about energy innovation for the warfighter. #WirelessPower #Innovation #PowerBeaming #EnergyTech

Reach is excited to be featured in The Forecast by Nutanix where we discuss the future of wireless power and its transformative role in our increasingly electrified world. Our CEO and Founder Chris Davlantes shares insights on Reach's work with pioneering organizations like the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) which empowers us to push the boundaries of wireless power, delivering reliable, at-a-distance energy to the toughest environments. From enabling persistent drones and recharging remote unattended ground sensors (UGS) to revolutionizing critical infrastructure, Reach is redefining what’s possible by eliminating the constraints of wired power.

Reach is proud to be a part of the Red Cat Holdings Futures Initiative, a groundbreaking collaboration of innovators driving the future of autonomous solutions for our nation. Check out their new video and see the progress being made!

In June, Reach had the opportunity to join USSOCOM's (TE) 24-3 event. As one of 61 innovative companies, we proudly showcased our cutting-edge wireless power technology for Human and Machine Teaming, while receiving invaluable feedback directly from SOF Operators. Here’s what we demonstrated: 1. A small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) powered by wireless RF energy, capable of flying continuously without the need for battery swaps. 2. Wireless recharging of unattended ground sensors (UGS), ensuring sustained operations in even the most challenging environments. These groundbreaking innovations boost mission flexibility, minimize downtime, and enable persistent ISR capabilities in the field. And, there's more! Reach has been selected for the next SOCOM TE event in Norway in January 2025! We’re looking forward to continuing to push the boundaries of our technology for SOF missions.

Reach's Government Advisory Board is expanding! 🇺🇸 Today we announced that Jim Smith, former Acquisition Executive at USSOCOM will join Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Clay Hutmacher on our newly created advisory board. Jim brings a wealth of experience as an acquisition expert, and has a deep understanding of the unique opportunities and challenges of working with the government. His firsthand knowledge of how transformative technology can empower our Joint forces will be invaluable as we push forward in delivering game-changing wireless power solutions. Welcome to the team, Jim! #Innovation #DefenseTechnology #WirelessPower #Leadership https://hubs.la/Q02BHnCb0

I've seen the briefings on this - and it could be a game-changer for operations requiring long endurance. Looking forward to seeing this develop.

Reach is excited to share our work funded by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on a groundbreaking wireless power mesh network for in-flight drones! We demonstrated this novel radio frequency (RF) based wireless power transfer (WPT) system at NASA's Ames Research Center with four of our wireless power transmitters collaborating together to beam power to a quadcopter drone in flight. This successful project is a significant step forward in the use of wireless power technology to keep UAVs, robots, and other electronic devices powered and charging while operational.
