Energous, Atmosic Say RF Energy Harvesting Enables 2-Meter Wireless Charging

Energous and Atmosic achieved interoperability for RF energy harvesting technology, enabling wireless charging up to 2 meters away, they said Wednesday. The companies combined Energous’ WattUp RF-based wireless charging technology and Atmosic’s M3 chipset with RF energy harvesting capability. Atmosic’s energy harvesting technology, based on Bluetooth 5, can deliver “forever battery” life and can enable devices to operate without any batteries in some applications, it said.
