The CEHOW project is to investigate the commercial potential of our research results on energy charging and harvesting using radio frequency (RF). The project is also to design prototypes for our proposed technology which focuses on integrating energy wireless harvesting in existing wireless communication technologies. When users connect to a wireless network, their mobile wireless terminals (WTs) can be automatically charged. Given the fact that most WTs are always connected to the Internet (e.g., a mobile user always connects to a WiFi or a cellular network, or IoT sensors collect signals from patients and send them to servers/cloud for further processing), it would be highly beneficial if users can charge their wireless devices (if needed) while using the internet. The success of the project will lead to new research directions of wireless technology in academia community and new developments of WT
products in industrial market.
CEHOW is a commercialization project (2025) funded by the Research Council of Norway (grant n◦ 356356). In the CEHOW project, the Arctic Green Computing group is the Co-PI from UiT.
