The partnership will integrate and deploy Energous’ PowerBridge technology and Wiliot’s IoT Pixel tags, providing customers with a solution featuring lower costs, increased mobility and improved sustainability.
  • Energous and Thinaer — a leading industrial IoT SaaS platform provider to incorporate Energous' wireless power transfer technology as part of a joint offering to help organizations improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance outcomes in various settings, including industrial manufacturing and warehousing.
  • Energous and LIXIL — a maker of pioneering water and housing products is working to combine Energous’ WattUp wireless power transfer technology and its suite of housing technology, including IoT home solutions, to deliver a joint solution that removes the need for battery maintenance via reliable and consistent power delivered wirelessly.
  • Energous and SATO — a global pioneer in auto-ID and labelling solutions partnering to develop joint solutions that combine Energous’ 1W WattUp PowerBridge transmitters with IoT solutions for next-generation smart store applications.
  • Energous and Catapult — the global leader in sports technology solutions for elite teams, has created the football of the future with an embedded tracker that can charge wirelessly, providing the data precision that Catapult customers expect from its wearables and video solutions.
  • Energous and amsOSRAM — a global leader in optical solutions is collaborating on a wirelessly powered multi-spectral light sensor for Controlled-Environment Agriculture (CEA) and vertical farming. The joint solution is based on the multi-channel AS7343 spectral sensor from ams OSRAM and the WattUp PowerBridge from Energous.

Regulatory Progress

  • Energous’1W WattUp PowerBridge has been approved by Japan’s regulatory body for unlimited power distance transmission. This enables Energous to deploy its active energy harvesting technology throughout the technologically advanced Japanese market.
  • AirFuel RF, the radio frequency-based wireless charging technology from AirFuel Alliance, was established as an industry standard to further support the growing power needs of the rapidly expanding IoT ecosystem of devices such as sensors, smart tags, asset trackers and other IoT applications. Representatives of Energous have served on the AirFuel Alliance board of directors since 2016 and have supported the development of this new industry standard.

“Energous continues to gain momentum for its solutions with a number of new partnerships and proof of concept deployments as its solutions are recognized as supporting the rapid deployment of IoT devices,” said Cesar Johnston, CEO of Energous. “The adoption of the AirFuel RF standard and the increased international certification of our devices will ensure that we are at the forefront of this significant technological change.”
