RF Wireless Charging

SWS latest ASIC development in wireless and RF is for RF wireless charging

SWS took Cota from system to silicon

• Ossia had a novel concept and an initial concept/demonstration prototype

• SWS turned the concept into a commercially viable solution, with a highly efficient chipset

Si-Ware Transformed Cota™ Technology from Ossia to Silicon Reality!

SoliCares

• In field soil-analysis by farmers

• Conventional way

• Samples collected from field and sent to lab

• Multiple samples analyzed in the lab

• Report is sent to land owner

SPECTROMETER APPLICATIONS

◘ The Neo way

◘ No sample preparation & delivery

◘ Instant reporting

◘ Larger adoption

◘ Scalability

Medical

◘ At-home medical analysis

◘ Conventional way

◘ Inconvenient sampling experience

◘ Long process

◘ Analysis is done only when patients fills ill

◘ The Neo way

◘ Automated frequent process

◘ Can predict illness

◘ Individualized diagnostics

Pharmaceutical

◘ Instant analysis of raw materials

◘ Conventional way

◘ Sample gets defected during transportation

◘ Analysis is done at specific phases of

medicine production

◘ The Neo way

◘ Analysis can be done quickly with

minimum sample handling

◘ Quality assurance at all phases of

materials development (from raw

materials’ harvest to pills)
