Energous won its first regulatory approval in Asia for RF-based power transfer at any distance. The OK in India for Energous’ 1W WattUp PowerBridge transmitter “opens new market opportunities for over-the-air power solutions” and follows similar approvals in Europe and the U.S., the company said Tuesday. Applications for the wireless charging technology include smart buildings, industrial IoT sensors and retail electronic displays, Energous said.
