Energous Named CES 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree in Two Categories for Groundbreaking At-a-Distance RF Wireless Charging

Energous Corporation (Nasdaq: WATT), the developer of WattUp, a revolutionary wireless charging 2.0 technology, today announced that its WattUp PowerBridge wireless charging technology has been named a CES 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree for two categories: Embedded Technology as well as Sustainability, Eco-Design & Smart Energy. This year’s CES Innovation Awards program received a record high number of over 1,800 submissions. The announcement was made ahead of CES 2022, the world’s most influential technology event taking place Jan. 5-8, 2022 in Las Vegas, NV and digitally.

“These honors from CES, an organization whose 50-year legacy includes debuting some of the world’s most transformative technologies, highlight the progress Energous and our WattUp wireless charging technology have made over the years,” said Cesar Johnston, acting CEO of Energous. “As more connected devices get deployed, manufacturers are designing them with new power-hungry features that, for battery-based IoT devices, either increase their size or require frequent manual battery replacement. Energous’ WattUp technology frees them from these decisions via fast, scalable and flexible wireless charging technology that supports the increasing levels of power required by today’s devices and tomorrow’s innovations. On behalf of Energous, I want to thank the CES Innovation Awards judges for this honor and look forward to showcasing our wireless charging technology live at CES 2022 on the show floor.”

WattUp PowerBridge transmitters from Energous send power to and can act as a data link for connected IoT devices such as sensors, Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs), trackers, IoT tags, batteryless devices and more. Multiple WattUp PowerBridge transmitters can be meshed together to create a WattUp wireless power network covering unlimited distances for large footprint deployments such as retail stores, industrial warehouses, manufacturing plants, logistics hubs and more. The WattUp wireless power network provides consistent levels of power for IoT devices, while eliminating the costly need to manage and change out batteries or rely on restrictive wires and cables. This innovation ushers in a new reality of mobile, waterproof, smaller, maintenance-free and easier-to-implement devices.
