Humavox Type Private Industry Wireless power Founder Omri Lachman and Asaf Elssibony Products ETERNA

**Humavox Ltd.** is an Israeli [startup](/source/Startup_company) that has developed a [radio frequency](/source/Radio_frequency) (RF) based [wireless charging](/source/Wireless_charging) technology for [wearables](/source/Wearables), [hearables](/source/Hearables), [IoT](/source/Internet_of_things), enterprise, consumer electronics and healthcare devices, including [hearing aids](/source/Hearing_aids). Humavox's hardware platform, ETERNA, will be licensed to device manufacturers to enable wireless charging of their devices.[1]

## History

Humavox was founded in 2010 by CEO Omri Lachman and VP Innovation Asaf Elssibony.[2]

In 2014, the company was awarded the ECN Impact award and Frost & Sullivan Gil award for Technology Innovation Leadership.[3]

In 2016, the company joined the Airfuel Alliance[4] and holds the vice chair position in the Uncoupled Power Working Group (UPG).[5]

In June 2016, Humavox merged with Australian company Aurum Inc. and raised 16 million dollars in the merger.[6]

## Technology

The company's technology is based on radio frequency (RF) wireless charging. It uses a power [transmitter](/source/Transmitter) (NEST) that transmits RF waves over a broad band of frequency waves, and a [receiver](/source/Receiver_(radio)) ([Thunderlink](/source/Thunderlink)), which is embedded in the target device. The receiver consumes the [RF energy](/source/RF_energy) and converts it to voltage to wirelessly charge the battery.[7][8] The company also uses an [algorithm](/source/Algorithm) (ETERNA Charging Optimizer) to ensure effective Rx and Tx coupling and to control the charging process.[9]
