Current certification enables Cota to be marketed and sold in the U.S. This certification also demonstrates that Cota meets the standards set up by multiple international regulatory bodies. International expansion is expected in the near term.
Cota Forever Tracker
Our FCC certifications include coverage of the Cota Forever Tracker™, our wireless power system that simultaneously and automatically charges multiple trackers in a commercial fleet without the need for cables, charging pads, or specific placement orientation.
The Cota technology FCC approval has key differentiators to any other approval currently on the market including:
- Delivery of meaningful power at 1 meter
- The Cota technology is designed to be inherently safe and avoids any potential obstructions. This means the Cota certification does not need an ‘exclusion zone’ in front of the transmitter, nor does it need sensors to shut the system off when it detects movement.
- The Cota system that received FCC certification sends the highest level of RF power of any certified system. This means higher efficiency in power transfer and reliable safety.
- The Cota Forever Tracker system charges multiple trackers simultaneously and automatically as the trucks come in from the field. Each tracking device receives about 2W of radio frequency power.
This certification has commercial value for Ossia and its customers—it proves the core capabilities of Cota for wireless power delivery safely in the presence of people. This certification opens the door for future device and transmitter certifications on a range of devices and products our customers want to bring to market.
The first such approval and certification the FCC granted Ossia on October 3, 2019 is for its asset tracking system, the Cota Forever Tracker. The wireless power delivery for this system is certified under Part 18 of the FCC’s rules.
The Forever Tracker is the first-of-its-kind Internet of Things (IoT) asset tracking solution that enables efficient mass charging of multiple IoT asset trackers, without the need for wires, cables, charging pads, or specific placement orientation. These high-performance IoT asset trackers enable real-time tracking of high-value assets, including semi-trailers, crates, pallets, and packages. This latest FCC certification enables Ossia to market and sell this innovative wireless power solution in the United States.
Cota technology delivers the highest level of RF power over air, certified up to one meter using a Cota transmitter operating at 2.4 GHz.
Cota Real Wireless Power delivers meaningful power to devices at a distance while meeting all of the FCC’s stringent Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) requirements for safety.
With over 102 patents globally and 224 active utility patent assets, Ossia has been developing Cota Real Wireless Power for many years. In addition, Ossia has garnered substantial investment and commercial traction from leading companies across several industries that have expressed interest in the application of Cota technology for their applications.
