Energous Corporation, a leader in next generation of wireless charging better known for its wireless charging solution WattUp®, received Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of a GaN-based WattUp Near Field wireless charging transmitter. The advanced transmitter is designed to deliver higher power with improved efficiency, enabling fast charging for hearables, wearables, medical sensors and more. To be deemed fully compliant with all regulatory requirements including RF, EMC and RF safety, the NF330 had to undergo rigorous testing by Underwriters Laboratory (UL), says a press release.

“The FCC certification of the NF330 transmitter is another step forward in the roll-out of Wireless Charging 2.0,” said Stephen R. Rizzone, president and CEO of Energous Corporation. “This GaN-based transmitter delivers five times more charging power, while almost doubling system efficiency compared to our CMOS-based transmitter solution, expanding charging options for consumers and manufacturers.”
