Wireless power pioneer, Ossia, has partnered with wireless IoT communication device developer, Xirgo, to develop IoT asset tracking devices using Ossia’s Cota Real Wireless Power. The companies plan to launch a pilot project in early 2019 at the distribution centers of a leading global retailer, in coordination with a Tier 1 wireless carrier. They expect to commercialize the jointly developed solution to the mass market later in the year.
Xirgo Technologies is a leading provider of innovative, full-featured, application-specific wireless IoT solutions to Fortune 500 companies and government agencies. It provides world-class IoT products in the realm of yard management, telematics, fleet management, heavy equipment, asset tracking and other IoT applications. It also delivers a high-value set of custom products for its partners, and a comprehensive product line that is sold through direct and indirect channels.
Ossia is the creator of Cota Real Wireless Power, power that's delivered over-the-air, at a distance, without the need for plugs, pads, or line-of-sight. The Cota receiver chip is small and can easily integrate into IoT devices. The Cota transmitter can be installed in buildings, homes or vehicles as a standalone product or integrated into existing infrastructure or devices. Cota wireless power technology is the ideal solution for powering thousands of IoT tracking devices in a dynamic distribution center environment. Ossia provides access to its Cota technology by way of licensing, joint developments, joint ventures, alliances, and other types of partnership agreements.
