Energous WattUp: True Wireless Charging


Energous WattUp

A decade ago wireless charging was an alien word for us but as science progress we became familiar to this piece of technology. But we only get familiar to this technology. Few mobile phones companies use this technology in their phones but I don’t think that is what we call wireless charging because we have to plug the wire of charging mat and put the phone on that mat. Even the most premium brand only provided turbo or fast charging. Even today when science is at the peak this technology seems like a dream but Energous breaking this myth with its’ Energous Wattup gadget. Wattup is delivering the true meaning of wireless charging.

What is Energous WattUp


Energous has been a famous name for wireless power. Energous WattUp is a router like gadget that beam electricity up to 15 feet in all directions that means now you don’t need any charger or to put phone on charging mat. The company claims that their long range wireless charging transmitter can deliver power up to 700mAh.

How It Works


The router like gadget which is actually a transmitter, transmits signals and receiver chip in your device receives these radio signals and convert these signals into usable DC power. The company uses 5.850-5.875GHz band to transmit power. We can control the delivery of power through software and give priority to certain device which we want to charge first. There is a speculation that Energous is working to apple to bring wireless charging to future iphones.

 There are companies like Ossia Cota, Wi-charge, WiTricity who are working on the same RF based wireless charging technology.
