Certification of new smaller, cost-effective over-the-air charging transmitter paves the way for next generation wireless charging for consumer electronics, medical devices, sensors as well as automotive and industrial applications
SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Today Energous Corporation (Nasdaq: WATT), the developer of WattUp®, a revolutionary wireless charging 2.0 technology, announced that it has received a FCC certification under Part 18 for its new advanced WattUp over-the-air wireless charging transmitter.
The new transmitter is based on a single advanced antenna and newly developed chip components with an innovative system architecture, which eliminates the use of beamforming techniques while passing applicable FCC regulatory health and safety standards.
The new technology is expected to make it easier for consumer electronic, medical, industrial and automotive manufactures to integrate the WattUp technology based on its simplified design, smaller footprint and reduced cost.
The advanced WattUp at-a-distance transmitter integrates Energous’ DA4100 with the company’s latest GaN-based power amplifier technologies. The transmitter has been subject to rigorous testing and successfully completed all applicable regulatory requirements and safety tests.
Energous gathers key insights into product development and production processes based on ongoing collaboration and communication with its manufacturing customers and partners, and continuously iterates on its WattUp wireless charging technology to meet their needs and various specifications and regulatory requirements. Transmitter products from partners and customers using the advanced charging technology are anticipated to be smaller and include additional performance enhancements and features.
In addition to announcing receipt of FCC certification, Energous also announced that, while it expected revenues to increase quarter-over-quarter, it was withdrawing its cumulative forecast previously announced on February 26, 2020 as a result of uncertainty related to the impact of COVID-19 on its business, customers and partners, as well as the bankruptcy filing of ZPower, which the Company had previously identified as a possible partner.
