[{"type":"text","content":"\nAward-winning technology has now received regulatory approval in the U.S., Europe, India and Canada, opening global wireless power networks for retail, industrial, medical and other IoT applications\n\n SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nEnergous Corporation (Nasdaq: WATT), a leading developer of RF-based charging for wireless power networks, today announced that its 1W WattUp PowerBridge transmitter has received regulatory approval from the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), the country’s technology regulatory body, for RF-based power transfer at any distance. The approval in Canada follows similar recent 1W WattUp PowerBridge approvals in the U.S., Europe and India, and expands Energous’ reach of its growing global ecosystem of wireless power transfer technology ideal for IoT deployments in markets such as retail, industrial and medical.\nThis press release features multimedia.

Manufacturers of IoT devices, which to our understanding increasingly require more power due to their frequent location on the edge far from traditional power sources such as direct wires or batteries, are challenged with powering this growing ecosystem.\n\nCapable of charging multiple devices simultaneously at-a-distance, WattUp PowerBridge transmitters from Energous send power to and can act as a data link for connected IoT devices such as sensors, Electroni...
