Energous Corporation d/b/a Energous Wireless Power Solutions, a pioneer in scalable, over-the-air wireless power networks (WPNs), announced the full FCC certification of the Energous 2W PowerBridge transmitter system, making it the industry’s first certified transmitter available at this power level.
The unique design of the Energous 2W PowerBridge transmitter enables the delivery of significantly increased power—up to 8W Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP)—providing customers with better visibility across their supply chain operations.
Wireless power transfer devices operating in the 900MHz frequency band must be authorized under the FCC’s equipment authorization rules and are subject to the technical and operational requirements of Part 15 and/or Part 18 of the FCC rules.
With this certification, Energous 2W PowerBridge transmitter systems will enable WPNs that safely and efficiently deliver continuous access to wireless power over-the-air and at distance while enabling a constant stream of real-time data for all connected devices, such as sensors and tags.
“The FCC certification of the Energous 2W PowerBridge transmitter system underscores our commitment to advancing wireless power technology and building a more sustainable future by enabling the next generation of battery-free innovations,” said Daniel Lawless, SVP of System Operations and Regulatory Affairs, Energous Wireless Power Solutions.
“By achieving this certification, the Energous 2W PowerBridge ensures compliance with regulatory standards, offering a safe, cost-efficient, and reliable solution for creating WPNs that enable unprecedented levels of visibility, control, and intelligent business automation for enterprise supply chain applications.”
“Congratulations to Energous for securing all appropriate FCC approvals for their 2W PowerBridge transmitter system which, as an essential part of a wireless power network, delivers wireless power to IoT sensors at greater distances,” said Sanjay Gupta, President, AirFuel Alliance.
“This certification is a testament to the growing adoption of wireless charging across the entire value chain. It will simplify deployment, reduce cost, and accelerate growth of the AirFuel RF wireless power ecosystem – and bring us one step closer to building a world where industry can power up without plugging in.”
Energous is one of the first companies to receive FCC certification for its wireless power solutions and its products are now certified in more than 110 markets, ensuring Energous wireless power solutions meet global RF, EMC, health, and safety standards. The company’s innovative technology is supported by 250+ patents.
About Energous PowerBridge Transmitters
Energous PowerBridge transmitter systems are the backbone of WPNs that allow connected devices such as sensors and tags to continuously provide critical enterprise data to cloud networks—at distance and without wires, batteries, or cables—ensuring they are reliably charged at all times.
These transmitter systems act as data links for IoT-enabled devices, enabling them to efficiently communicate valuable data and insights back to the cloud, and allowing companies to analyze, optimize, and improve every part of their supply chain operations in real time.
The Energous 2W PowerBridge transmitter system is designed for next-generation, enterprise IoT applications which require power over a distance, providing a WPN that delivers an always on, over-the-air automated energy flow that optimizes IoT device performance.
The system’s proprietary antenna design enables it to transmit higher radiated power—up to 8W Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP)—and dual polarization, delivering up to 99 percent visibility of all connected devices. This makes the Energous 2W transmitter well suited for large-scale industrial applications where asset tracking and monitoring across multiple zones is critical to operations, including supply chain visibility, cold chain monitoring, fleet management, and temperature and humidity monitoring.
The Energous 2W PowerBridge transmitter system combines two high-efficiency power amplifiers with a System-on-Chip (SoC) RF transmitter to create a wireless charging infrastructure that enables continuous data streams from mobile IoT devices into business critical applications.
