Mobile World Congress 2019: Energous Demonstrates WattUp Fast Charging 20-Watt Solution, Designed for Fast Charging Smartphon...
February 25 2019 - 12:01AM
Energous Corporation (NASDAQ: WATT), the developer of
WattUp, a revolutionary Wireless Charging 2.0 technology, today
announced it will be at Mobile World Congress Barcelona
demonstrating a new WattUp Near Field fast charging transmitter and
receiver solution that delivers 20 watts of power, with the ability
to scale higher. The new fast charging solution is ideal for
smartphones, tablets, drones, cordless power tools and other
high-power electronics.
Energous’ WattUp Near Field fast charging transmitter is based
on its GaN Power Amplifier (PA) and DA4100 Transmitter (Tx) ASIC
that, when paired with Energous’ GaAs receiver (Rx) ASIC, provides
the foundation for a system that offers higher system efficiency
than coil-based charging solutions, delivering 20 watts of power to
the receiver, with the ability to scale higher. With the
elimination of coils, Energous’ small footprint Rx architecture
makes system integration and manufacturability easier, while
improving thermal performance and supporting advanced foreign
object detection, which allows co-existence with RFID, NFC, and
other subsystem technologies.
“We are excited to be demonstrating our latest WattUp fast
charging solution that delivers a highly efficient 20 watts of
power with full foreign object detection in a small, low cost
footprint,” said Stephen R. Rizzone, president and CEO of Energous
Corporation. “This new fast charging system compliments our
CMOS-based low power solution that is specifically designed for
small form factor devices, such as hearables, wearables, medical
sensors and more. With the addition of our fast charging 20-watt
solution, we are providing our customers with a full spectrum
portfolio of products that include contact-based and distance
charging, as well as low power and high-power options, uniquely
positioning Energous as the market leader in next generation
Wireless Charging 2.0.”
At MWC Barcelona, Energous will also be demonstrating various
WattUp-enabled partner products, including:
- The Oasis-RC personal sound amplification product (PSAP) from
Delight, offering exceptional user convenience with WattUp wireless
charging.
- An updated concept version of the Vuzix Blade® smart glasses
from Vuzix Corporation, featuring WattUp wireless charging
capabilities.
- Smart glasses from Givor, designed in partnership with SK
Telesys, equipped with Energous’ WattUp wireless charging
technology.
- In partnership with Deutsche Telekom, Energous will be
demonstrating a concept transmitter design charging multiple
devices at-a-distance.
- WattUp-enabled SpineTracker™ from The Gokhale Method that
offers improved flexibility for teachers with WattUp wireless
charging.
- FCC-certified transmitter from IDT International Limited that
can be bundled with a variety of customer product receiving
applications.
Energous is hosting meetings and demonstrations of the above
partner products on an appointment-only basis at Mobile World
Congress, Feb. 25-28, 2019, in a private meeting space.
