Nichicon, Ossia partner to wirelessly power IoT devices

Nichicon Corporation and Ossia, Inc. has announced their new partnership. Nichicon will promote Ossia’s Cota Real Wireless Power by utilising Cota Technology in association with Nichicon’s SLB Series of Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) Batteries.

This partnership will produce a Nichicon branded battery that when in the proximity of a Cota Power Transmitter will always receive power. With the Cota Technology, the SLB battery can be charged continuously, offering more convenience and efficiency when powering and charging devices. The incorporation of Cota wireless power will prolong the battery life indefinitely, creating new pathways for device makers and enhancing the overall customer experience.

“Nichicon is another strong partner within the Ossia ecosystem that includes dozens of companies currently building Cota-enabled products. Ossia has always stated that the promise of IoT proliferation cannot happen without wireless power,” says Doug Stovall, Ossia CEO. “Batteries are currently a pain point for all companies looking to deploy IoT devices. Nichicon is forging a path to offer sustainable IoT growth with a continuously powered Cota-enabled SLB.”

“Ossia is a large player in the IoT power industry and Nichicon is proud to partner with them. The success of the IoT ecosystem hinges on the collective effort of companies like ours, joining forces to craft groundbreaking products. This collaborative endeavor holds the potential to introduce a truly revolutionary power source to the dynamic IoT market,” says Craig Anderson, president of Nichicon America. “The Cota power transmitter works non-stop, enabling availability of the SLB anytime or anywhere the user needs.”
