Energous Corp (NASDAQ: WATT)

Energous Corp develops over the air Wireless Power Network technology that integrates advanced semiconductor chipsets, software controls, hardware designs and antenna systems to enable radio frequency based charging for ambient Internet of Things devices. This technology transforms supply chain capabilities from simple tracking to comprehensive business intelligence by providing continuous power and data to battery free sensors and tags. The company’s over the air platform supports both near field and at a distance operation, allowing deployment across a variety of distances and power levels. Energous Corp’s solutions are designed for use in retail, industrial, healthcare and logistics environments where wired power or battery replacement is impractical.

Energous Corp generates revenue primarily from the sale of its transmitter systems, receiver integrated circuits and associated software platforms. The company offers several transmitter models including the PowerBridge, PowerBridge LITE and PowerBridge Pro units that deliver over the air radio frequency power to multiple receiver enabled devices. Receiver products consist of battery free integrated circuits such as the e Sense tag and e Compass software that enable devices to harvest power and communicate data. In addition to product sales, Energous earns income through licensing agreements, engineering services and proof of concept collaborations with enterprise customers seeking to evaluate the technology. These revenue streams support the firm’s ongoing research and development efforts and help fund the expansion of its global patent portfolio.
