Startup Asks FCC for ISM Rules Waiver
A startup seeks waiver of FCC rules on industrial, scientific and medical equipment to market a system for transmitting wireless power over distance. The system operates in the 24 GHz ISM band, “which enables it to achieve greater power transfer efficiency at longer distances,” Auspion filed, posted Thursday. It seeks waiver from Part 18 rules that say for a technology to be designed as ISM, it “must be designed to ‘generate and use locally’ RF energy … [and] the Auspion system does not satisfy the definition of ISM equipment.”
