Ossia, the company behind FCC-approved Cota Real Wireless Power, the patented technology that delivers power at a distance, and without the need for line-of-sight, has announced that it has been named a winner in two categories from IoT Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization. Ossia has been recognized for its Cota Real Wireless Power technology, the patented technology that delivers power over the air, at a distance, and without the need for line-of-sight.

In its eighth year of operation, the awards program recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global IoT market. Ossia is one of four companies to receive an award in the Smart City category this year and an honor in the Connected Home category, as its wireless power technology enables continuous power at a distance, reducing reliance on wires, wired infrastructure and batteries.

"The Smart City category encompasses most, if not all, of the IoT categories, so we are incredibly proud to be recognized as an innovator in this area," said Doug Stovall, CEO of Ossia. "Wireless power at a distance, and without the need for line of sight, creates more opportunities for game-changing innovation across all businesses working with IoT."

By reducing reliance on wired power, Cota Real Wireless Power makes city planning and maintenance much more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable and reduces a city's reliance on precious resources, such as copper. It also enables smart city innovations and systems that are not feasible within the limits of current energy delivery methods.

"Our 2024 winners showcase remarkable dedication in shaping the future of Connected Homes & Devices, Enterprise & Industrial IoT, and beyond," said Steve Johansson, Managing Director for IoT Breakthrough.

Ossia's IoT Breakthrough awards quickly follow its 7th innovation award win at the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show, for its Cota Forever Magnetic Phone Charger, a Qi2 and MagSafe-ready phone charger. The Cota Forever Magnetic Phone Charger receives power over the air without cords or charging pads. Cota Real Wireless Power, which is globally regulatory approved to send power over the air at any distance, is available now through Ossia and Ossia's manufacturing partners.
