internationally accredited European Notified Body. The results of
this review verify that the Energous WattUp PowerHub wireless
charging transmitter complies with European technical requirements
for radio equipment.
“This milestone demonstrates our leadership in RF based wireless
charging and the advancement of our vision and mission to increase
power levels and establishes our ability to enable over-the-air
