FACILITY FIXTURES AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING OVER-THE-AIR POWER TO PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES

A fixture for providing over-the-air power to portable electronic devices may include a surface, a charging pad configured to charge a portable electronic device resting on the surface via wireless power transfer, a technology layer underneath the surface, and at least one energy storage device positioned at least in part in the technology layer and configured to provide a voltage. The fixture may include a receiver positioned at least in part in the technology layer and configured to: receive the over-the-air energy from at least one source thereof, and transduce the over-the-air energy to an electric current to charge the at least one energy storage device. The fixture may include at least one power converter positioned at least in part in the technology layer and operably coupled to: the at least one energy storage device, and the charging pad.
