PR91442
REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
-- Ossia's Cota technology has successfully met the standards required to use
the CE and UKCA marks on Cota-enabled products that send and receive power
wirelessly without any distance limitation
Ossia Inc., the company behind Cota(R) Real Wireless Power(TM) -- the patented
technology that delivers power over-the-air, at a distance, and without the
need for line-of-sight -- today announced that it has successfully passed both
EU and UK regulatory assessments. This is the first RF based non-line-of-sight,
wireless power technology at-a-distance product to receive EU/UK Type
Examination Certificates and that can bear both the CE and UKCA marks.

The Type of Examination Certificates received from an EU Notified Body and UKCA
Conformity Assessment Body confirm the Cota system's compliance with the radio,
emissions, immunity, and RF safety standards applicable under the EU Radio
Equipment Directive and the UK Radio Equipment Regulation. Along with
compliance with the European restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical
equipment (RoHS) and product safety requirements, the Cota system complies with
the UK and European Union essential requirements and can be licensed and sold
with the CE marking in Europe and the UKCA mark in the UK. Previously, the Cota
system was only authorized for sale in the US.
This certification, which does not have a distance limitation for delivery of
wireless power over-the-air, comes on the heels of two recent US FCC
certifications of Cota wireless power technology, and enables the company to
service its clients globally. The lack of distance limitation is a significant
advantage; a single Cota transmitter has been tested to safely and effectively
deliver power over air without any distance limitation.
"We couldn't be more excited to bring our ground-breaking wireless power
technology to more countries and regions in the world. These milestone
achievements pave the way for multiple global approvals of Cota Real Wireless
Power at-a-distance. While other wireless power technologies require
line-of-sight and offer insignificant power that requires the system to switch
off in environments with humans, Cota can effectively power devices in the
consumer, commercial and industrial spaces," said Doug Stovall, Ossia's CEO.
"Even if the device is on the move or is not in line-of-sight of the
transmitter, power can be efficiently and continuously delivered with Cota.
This certification paves the way for a whole new level of innovation and
product development across a wide range of industries globally," continued
Stovall.
Cota Real Wireless Power is currently being deployed in multiple customer
applications, including as an asset tracker for the logistics and
transportation industry in the US. Ossia has more than 158 issued and allowed
patents globally and 213 active utility patent assets for its wireless power
transfer system. The EU and UK certification is the latest official recognition
of achievement for the company and its technology.
"This certification is a critical step to empowering existing and emerging EU-
and UK-based technologies to become free of wires and batteries, which can
improve environmental footprints by decreasing reliance on disposable
batteries, decreasing costs, and enabling a whole new world of smart products.
We are committed to bringing the full range of wireless power at a distance
technology to more countries and global brands," said Stovall.
Global wireless power devices based on this EU and UK certification will be
available through Ossia's commercial partners.
