Today could mark the beginning of a new age in wireless charging. The FCC has certified the WattUp transmitter, a revolutionary technology that could shape the future of smartphone charging. This new tech addresses many of Qi charging’s limitations, and if things go right, may lead to a truly wireless future.

Qi charging was the first standard that was widely adopted by OEMs. Many Android manufacturers have included Qi on their devices for years, and the technology has slowly improved — now, even Apple’s on board. However, the standard has its limits, and many companies have been working to improve on the current state of wireless charging in general. As it turns out, Energous may have won the race.
