Resonant Link is building best-in-class wireless chargers to power implantable medical devices and accelerate electrification in robotics, material handling, and electric vehicles. Its powerful multi-layer self-resonant structure (MSRS) enables wireless chargers that are:
- 5-10x higher performance than is possible with existing technologies
- 5-10x faster charge (speed)
- 4x lower normalized cost
- 3x lighter in weight
- 3x smaller in size
