Overview
Fully powered, Innovative, and Wireless
touchless Wireless Power Transfer (tWPT): WiGL aims to help people rethink how they 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.
*The product described is a prototype not yet available to the general market.
Innovation (eNERGY): WiGL is rethinking how electrical power is created. Using emerging technologies, WiGL is creating a family of products that create power to recharge IoT devices. From hand-held saltwater generators (SWG) used to recharge cellphones…to…suitcase sized SWGs that replace solar panels, WiGL is changing the future. WiGL is attempting to power electric vehicles while they move…and tiny homes that are off-grid.
With our tWPT and eENRGY technologies, WiGL aims to power your devices on the move or recharge your battery while you use the device—and that’s just scratching the surface.
*The tWPT products shown are prototypes not yet available to the general market.
Our patented tWPT technologies may provide greater security, cleaner and less wasteful energy. WiGL is 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; Guam 2023. Just like WiFi, we envision WiGL being a household name in a $25 billion charging solution market.
*The product described is a prototype not yet available to the general market.
The 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.
*Number of users calculated internally based smartphone penetration rate provided by Statista.
*The products shown are prototypes not yet available to the general market.
The 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 service provider.

The Market
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)
Our Traction
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 Funding (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 via our SWG Water Bottle
b) expeditionary lighting via WiGL-enabled tWPT Networking (commercial product xmas tree)
c) vehicle batteries charging via the SWG + Internal Batteries
What We Do
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. Better yet, imagine your electric vehicle (EV) recharging while you drive around!
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.
WiGL also produces WiGL eNERGY units that function as a self-generating power router for eNERGY transmission that enables remote location mesh networks. Going off the grid...take your WiGL network or eNERGY with you.
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 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 technology under “WiGL eNERGY”. 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
While WiGL is still currently in early developmental stages.
We have partnered with Energous, PowerCast, EarlyX, Guinn Partners, and others to build exciting new minimally viable products (MVP) based on our prototypes.
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 our renewable eNERGY SWGs
3. WiGL enabled powerbank receivers that recharge your battery on the move
4. WiGL enabled SWG + Powerbanks that recharge EVs while they move
5. WiGL-enable holiday lights and Christmas Trees ... on our network
Via the TACFI, WiGL 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.
An In-Depth Look at Some of Prospective WiGL eNERGYProducts:
How We Are Different
Current and future competitive advantages
WiGL’s primary advantages are its patented wireless charging range, directed energy methods, mesh networking capabilities, SWG autonomous power, and recharging EVs while they 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!
Our existing utility patents effectively block out those that seek to leverage tWPT using any electromagnetic transmission technology for uncoupled energy transfer networks:

…and many more in the queue
*Information in this graphic based on the opinion of the company and internal company research only.
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?
The Vision
Ensure that WiGL is synonymous with innovative power delivery
With robust marketing, strategic acquisitions, targeted communication campaigns and a well-developed social media presence, we’re aiming to be associated with all innovative wireless power delivery, regardless of the product, service, competitor or manufacturer. Our goal is that within five years after commercial launch, the name WiGL will be as prevalent, demanded, and used as WiFi.
When going to a restaurant or a friend’s place, consumers today ask the common questions, “do you have WiFi, what’s the password?”
Similarly, our vision is for people across the globe to simply ask, “how do I get on your WiGL network?”
When off grid, WiGL plans to be the go-to source for self generated electrical power.
And when on the go, we seek to be the way you recharge your EV.

FAQS
Crowdfunding
With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
