About Energous Corporation

Energous Corporation is developing WattUp^TM, a wire-free charging technology that will transform the way people charge and power their electronic devices at home, in the office, in the car and beyond. WattUp is a novel, patent- and trademark-pending solution that delivers intelligent, scalable power via the same radio bands as a Wi-Fi router. WattUp differs from current wire-free charging systems in that it allows users to roam and use their devices while charging. The result is a true wire-free experience that saves users from having to remember to plug in their devices or place them on a mat. Energous will initially license WattUp to the mobile accessory market, with an eye toward expanding to other markets over time. For more information, please visit www.energous.com.
