Energous Corporation develops and commercializes radio frequency (RF)–based wireless charging technology designed to deliver power over the air to compatible devices. Its WattUp platform includes near‐field and far‐field transmitters that emit targeted RF energy and receiver modules that convert that energy into electrical power. The company’s solutions aim to eliminate the need for cables and charging pads by enabling contactless power delivery to a range of products, from wearables and IoT sensors to medical devices and consumer electronics. Energous offers reference designs, development kits and licensing arrangements to support partners in integrating its wireless power technology into their products.
Founded in 2012 and headquartered in San Jose, California, Energous has focused its research and development efforts on improving the efficiency, range and safety of RF‐based power delivery. In 2016, the company completed its initial public offering on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol WATT, positioning itself as one of the clearest pure plays in emerging wireless power. Over the years, Energous has secured regulatory approvals—most notably from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission—for its mid‐power WattUp transmitters, and it continues to pursue additional certifications in markets around the world.
Energous targets a broad array of end markets, including consumer electronics, smart home devices, industrial IoT applications and healthcare instrumentation. By licensing its technology to original equipment manufacturers, contract electronics vendors and system integrators, the company seeks to embed WattUp’s wireless charging capability at the design stage. This partner‐centric approach enables third parties to accelerate time to market and tailor wireless charging solutions to their specific form factors and power requirements.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Stephen Rizzone, Energous maintains research facilities in North America and works closely with regulatory agencies, semiconductor vendors and component suppliers. The company’s strategic roadmap is centered on expanding its global footprint, advancing its RF power‐management technology and forging alliances to drive adoption of wireless charging as a standard feature across a wide spectrum of electronic devices.
