Energous Applauds ITU Approval for 900-MHz Wireless Power Transfer

Energous hailed ITU recommendation ITU-R SM.2151-0, which includes an approval and recommendation for the 900 MHz frequency band for wireless power transfer for the wireless charging of devices such as sensors, smart tags, asset trackers and other IoT applications. The September ITU recommendation, posted Monday, is significant for Energous’ WattUp PowerBridges, which transmit power at the 915 MHz band, Energous said, calling it a “step forward” for Energous for the deployment of global active harvesting wireless power networks running at 900 MHz.
