Energous Corporation announced that they have achieved the industry’s first interoperability for radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting technology. The interoperability combines Energous’ WattUp RF-based wireless charging technology and Atmosic’s M3 Series chipset – the company’s energy harvesting technology that captures RF power – which together open up the market for wireless charging up to two meters away for a diverse array of connected solutions for retail, industrial and consumer applications. Atmosic and Energous are both members of the AirFuel Alliance®, a global coalition of companies committed to a world where everyone can power up without plugging in. Atmosic’s innovative Lowest Power Radio, On-demand Wake Up and Controlled Energy Harvesting technologies work to enable the M3, based on the Bluetooth 5 standard, to deliver “forever battery” life and can even enable devices to operate without any batteries in some applications. “Forever battery” life helps to lower maintenance time and the total cost of ownership of connected device deployments, in addition to reducing the number of batteries that go into landfills. Atmosic’s Controlled Energy Harvesting technology can capture energy from a variety of sources, including ambient photovoltaic (light), radio frequency (RF) and thermal sources, and mechanical (motion) sources. Energous’ WattUp wireless charging technology is based on radio frequency (RF), which provides a number of benefits for wireless charging including the ability to be designed into small form factor products and devices without flat surfaces. In September 2020, Energous received from the FCC a Class II permissive change to the existing MS-550 FCC Grant, extending the charging zone up to one meter.
Energous Corporation is a developer of radio frequency (RF)-based charging for wireless power networks. The Companyâs total network solution is designed to support a variety of applications, including inventory and asset tracking, smart manufacturing, electronic shelf labels, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, digital supply chain management, inventory management, loss prevention, patient/people tracking and sustainability initiatives. It has developed its wireless power networks technology (WPNT), consisting of semiconductor chipsets, software controls, hardware designs and antennas, that enable RF-based charging for IoT devices. The WPNT has a broad spectrum of capabilities to enable the next generation of wireless power networks, delivering power and data in a device portfolio. This includes near field and at-a-distance wireless charging with multiple power levels at various distances. Its networks are powering its customerâs RF-based systems in a variety of industries.
