The Norsec Wireless Power Transmitter is an uni-directional, A-to B, far field microwave electical transmission system. The rotatable base transmitter delivers a narrow, non-lethal Microwave beam to a dedicated base receiver. | The Norsec Wireless Power Transmitter is an uni-directional, A-to B, far field microwave electical transmission system.

The brightness of the transmitter's collimator arc provides an indication of transmission intensity. Note that there is an attrition over longer ranges, so the unit requrires more power over greater distances to deliver the same output. |
