Energous Corporation (NASDAQ: WATT), a leading developer of RF-based charging for wireless power networks, today announced that the company will be demonstrating its technology and WattUp-powered partner products at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2023), taking place January 5-8, 2023 in Las Vegas, NV. Energous will have a booth presence on the show floor at the Venetian Expo Hall.

Demonstrations at the Energous booth (#50726) include:

  • Multi-Spectral Light Sensor: Intended for vertical farming and Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), Energous and its partner ams OSRAM will demonstrate a wirelessly powered multi-spectral light sensor used by the agriculture industry to optimize lighting for maximum results.
  • Smart Football: A “smart” football from Energous partner Catapult, wirelessly powered over-the-air by its WattUp technology.
  • Wall of Wiliot: An augmented reality experience of real-time data being received from Wiliot’s Internet of Things (IoT) Pixels, energized by WattUp PowerBridges. This unique and immersive experience enables visitors to easily visualize the behaviors of sensing and data transfer that can otherwise not be seen.
  • CO2 Sensor: Maintenance-free CO2 sensors from Sensirion, powered wirelessly over the air from Energous WattUp PowerBridges, for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) improvement in industrial and commercial applications.
  • Wiliot IoT Pixel Tag Printer: The CL4NX Plus industrial thermal printer from SATO, modified to print postage stamp-sized Wiliot battery-free IoT Pixel sensor tags, which power themselves by harvesting radio waves and ambient IoT.
  • Sensor Evaluation Kit: In partnership with Atmosic, Energous will highlight its Wirelessly Powered Sensor evaluation kit, which combines an Energous 1W WattUp PowerBridge with two Atmosic-based battery-free sensors and a mobile application to receive sensor data via Bluetooth LE.
  • Harvesting Evaluation Kit: In partnership with e-peas, this Wireless Energy Harvesting Evaluation Kit gives attendees a hands-on experience with Energous’ WattUp technology and e-peas’ energy harvesting management chip for applications such as ESLs, asset trackers, sensors, BLE beacons and other small devices.
  • Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL): Wirelessly-powered ESLs, used for IoT and retail applications will be demonstrated.

“2022 was a year of important milestones for our WattUp wireless power networks for IoT, which is now approved in nine regions and four of the top five markets globally,” said Cesar Johnston, CEO of Energous. “2023 will see further explosion of IoT deployments, which require consistent power without replaceable batteries or power cables. We are excited to showcase our technology at CES 2023 at our booth number 50726.”

The annual electronics show is hosted by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and the 2023 event will be held in person and virtually, giving individuals on a global scale access to the world’s most innovating industry leaders and technologies. In November, Energous’ WattUp wireless charging technology was named a CES® 2023 Innovation Awards Honoree for the second year in a row within the Embedded Technology category.
