As part of its global regulatory campaign,
the company reaches a major milestone as WattUp is approved to ship
in 100 countries including the U.S., United Kingdom, European
Union, Taiwan, India, Australia and Canada
Energous Corporation (NASDAQ:WATT), the developer of WattUp®,
a revolutionary wire-free, power-at-a-distance charging technology,
today announced that it has secured regulatory certification for
its WattUp Near Field wireless charging technology in 100 countries
around the world, including the United States, Australia, Canada,
India, Taiwan and the entire European Union.
“As the leader in Wireless Charging 2.0, we are paving the way
for our customers to launch WattUp-enabled consumer electronic and
IoT devices on a global basis. While each WattUp-enabled device
requires its own certification, our customers will be able to
reference the Energous certifications to expedite the regulatory
process,” said Stephen R. Rizzone, CEO of Energous. “Initial roll
outs from our customers to consumers will begin in the coming
weeks, followed by full global releases as the remaining
certifications are secured.”

This announcement follows the company’s achievement of the
industry’s first FCC certification for its at-a-distance wireless
charging technology under Part 18 of the FCC guidelines, an
industry first, as well as for the company’s at-contact wireless
charging. Energous is continuing to execute on a robust global
regulatory campaign that will establish its footprint in priority
countries and open the door for manufacturers to begin selling
WattUp-enabled electronic devices in their respective
markets.
As the only technology capable of both contact-based
fast-charging and over-the-air wireless charging and the ability to
charge multiple devices simultaneously, WattUp is a low cost and
highly scalable wireless charging solution that is suitable for a
variety of sized electronic devices, including smartphones, fitness
trackers, earbuds, game controllers, hearing aids and more. The
WattUp ecosystem, similar to WiFi, ensures interoperability between
all receivers and transmitters, making the entire ecosystem
flexible and accessible for both consumers and manufacturing
partners, while solving their pain points with existing
on-the-market wireless charging solutions.
“Securing the necessary country-specific regulatory approvals
for our technology is an important and essential part of the go-to
market process as we introduce WattUp wireless charging technology
to regulators around the world,” said Daniel Lawless, VP of
Regulatory at Energous. “Current progress of our international
regulatory campaign bolsters our leadership position and makes our
WattUp wireless charging technology accessible to many more markets
around the globe, with more in the pipeline.”
Energous is actively working on obtaining necessary regulatory
approvals in additional key countries and it anticipates more
country approvals will be announced in the coming months.
