1W distance charging transmitter approved in Europe
A 1W system from Energous has been approved for free-space charging in Europe
The 1W WattUp PowerBridge transmitter complies with European technical requirements for radio equipment and follows the recent FCC approval in the US. This allows designers to use the WattUp system to provide wireless power pver several metres to asset tracking tags such as those from Wiliot in France, electronic shelf labels and industrial IoT sensors.
The technology was developed with Dialog Semiconductor, now part of Renesas Electronics.
