PR94852
REDMOND, Wash., Mar. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
-- Ossia announces that its Cota(R) wireless power technology has been approved
by the FCC for use in the United States without any distance limitation.
Ossia Inc., the company that created 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 received
another milestone FCC authorization for the Cota wireless power system. This
authorization removes the FCC's previous 1m distance limitation and frees
Ossia's radio-frequency-based wireless power system to deliver power to a wide
range of devices without any distance limitations. The newly authorized Cota
system can be sold throughout the United States.

Ossia is the first wireless power company to have its products approved under
the recently published FCC guidance that removes the FCC's previous 1m distance
limit for some wireless power technologies authorized under Part 18 of the
FCC's rules. In contrast to other companies' low-power devices authorized under
different FCC rule parts, Ossia's authorization under Part 18 means that Cota
technology is authorized to use significant power – in this case about 5W – to
send power to devices at any distance.
The news comes on the heels of Ossia's receiving authorization for the Cota
Real Wireless Power system to be sold and to operate without any distance
limitations in 45+ countries outside of the US, including throughout the EU and
UK, again at any distance.
"This is a tremendous milestone for Ossia. Cota wireless power devices are now
authorized without distance limits in countries around the world, and the
technology can be integrated into products for use in 45+ countries (and
counting) and in all 50 states," said Ossia CEO Doug Stovall. "We set out with
a groundbreaking technology that we knew would change the world. This is just
the tip of the iceberg in terms of the huge US market opportunities now
available for the Cota technology."
The Cota wireless power system has been through multiple rounds of rigorous
testing to prove compliance with FCC rules, including those on RF exposure
safety, which are the same rules that apply to Wi-Fi and cellular devices and
are among the most stringent testing standards for RF exposure safety in the
world.
"That Ossia is the first to receive this type of FCC approval for wireless
power is testimony to the effectiveness and safety of the Cota technology – and
provides a stronghold in meeting the power and safety needs of Ossia's
customers. We have now established a high bar for the whole industry," said
Hatem Zeine, a physicist and founder of Ossia. "With this certification, our
partners and customers are able to build and certify their Cota enabled
products and bring them to market. As more companies integrate and transform
their products with Cota, we will see more innovation and more adoption from
companies and countries around the globe. This is an incredibly exciting time
in the history of wireless power."
This latest FCC certification enables Ossia's current partners to integrate the
Cota technology into a broad range of products and applications at any
distance. Ossia expects this authorization to pave the way for a proliferation
of new devices and applications for wireless power at a distance.
