Collaboration to provide mission-ready wireless
charging transmitter solutions for military applications in the
North American market
Today Energous Corporation (Nasdaq: WATT) – the developer of
WattUp®, a revolutionary wireless charging 2.0 technology –
announced a strategic partnership with Xentris Wireless – a leader
in designing, engineering and manufacturing premium mobile
accessories and charging solutions – to develop ruggedized products
for demanding military applications using Energous’ radio frequency
(RF) based charging technology.
“Xentris Wireless and Energous are working together to deliver
world-class wireless charging solutions for the North American
military market,” said Stephen R. Rizzone, president and CEO of
Energous Corporation. “Not only does WattUp offer complete freedom
of alignment, but users also have the ability to monitor battery
levels through software control, which is a major advantage in an
industry where long-term storage is a factor and reliability is
absolutely critical. This partnership with Xentris Wireless and the
resulting engagements with the U.S. military represent a further
expansion of our addressable markets with our RF-charging
technology.”
Xentris Wireless has expanded its product portfolio to include
rugged, fast-charging wireless and wired charging technologies.
With the recent launch of its EXO Charge military product line and
investment in its development center, Xentris Wireless will supply
the U.S. Army a variety of reliable, mission-ready charging
solutions. Together, Xentris Wireless and Energous will collaborate
on next-generation offerings that leverage Energous’ WattUp
RF-based wireless charging technology and Xentris Wireless’s
knowledge of soldier power.
“We look forward to expanding our military-specific offerings
further through this collaboration with Energous,” said David
Bailey, president and CEO of Xentris Wireless. “By incorporating
Energous’ WattUp technology into our products, we will increase the
number of solutions that can be customized to address the specific
needs of the warfighter.” Mike Stein, Xentris Wireless’s senior
director of military and government services added, “By enabling a
soldier who is within range of a transmitter to automatically find
a wireless charging source increases lethality and reduces the
logistics tail. RF charging is a game changer for the warfighter in
a multi-domain battle.”
This collaboration was initiated to develop new solutions that
meet the power needs of today’s Army and its cutting-edge portable
devices. While a force multiplier on the battlefield, the power
needed for these electronic devices has resulted in higher capacity
batteries. Energous’ RF-charging technology provides the Army a
better solution for maintaining batteries and new opportunities for
the soldier to charge their batteries on-the-go.
Energous’ WattUp wireless charging technology is based on radio
frequency (RF) which provides a number of benefits for wireless
charging including the ability to be designed into small form
factor products and devices without flat surfaces.
