The Cota-enabled IoT sensors will be able to receive power at a distance, without the need for line-of-sight, and will have communication capabilities. ![ossia-marubun-iot](https://www.ossia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ossia-marubun-iot.jpg?width=848&name=ossia-marubun-iot.jpg) To start, the Cota Power Receiver for IoT will be built on [Ossia](https://www.ossia.com/)'s 2.4 GHz wireless power system, with the 5.8 GHz system to follow. Once embedded into the end devices, the wirelessly powered sensors can be managed remotely through the cloud-based [Cota](https://blog.ossia.com/definitive-guide-to-wireless-power) IoT Platform. This sensor, using the Cota technology and [Marubun](https://www.marubun.co.jp/en/)'s product development, will be the first of its kind to be designed and integrated into many types of IoT devices, without the need for a retrofit stage. "There are so many ways Cota can be leveraged for so many different kinds of devices. To date, we have seen successful applications within commercial products such as ESLs and commercial truck trackers," says [Doug Stovall](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dougstovall/), CEO of [Ossia](https://www.ossia.com/). "With this new development and partnership with [Marubun](https://www.marubun.co.jp/en/), even more companies will be able to bypass a 'retrofitting' step and seamlessly build the [Cota](https://blog.ossia.com/definitive-guide-to-wireless-power) Power Receiver for IoT right in to the device itself. This will save on costs and one-off experimentation, and offer a shortcut to market." With any new technology, retrofitting is a common bridge between a currently marketed product and a new product with the technology built in. But retrofits, such as adapters and power sleeves, can be costly, cumbersome, and take extra time to build and distribute. The [Cota](https://blog.ossia.com/definitive-guide-to-wireless-power) Power Receiver for IoT was developed to help bypass these obstacles. "The [Cota](https://blog.ossia.com/definitive-guide-to-wireless-power) system is stable, resilient, and scalable," says Satoshi Fujino, Senior VP of [Marubun](https://www.marubun.co.jp/en/). "To bring it to fruition more rapidly, we saw an opportunity to leverage Cota wireless power technology for a sensor that can be integrated within many types of IoT devices. Developing for one device at a time is not economical, nor wise, when a single wireless power sensor can be applied to so many different types of devices, from commercial and retail to industrial and medical." [Cota](https://blog.ossia.com/definitive-guide-to-wireless-power) enables devices to receive power without user intervention, charging pads, plugging in, or batteries. It can deliver power at a distance to multiple devices simultaneously, while supporting a high level of quantity and frequency of updates, such as might be required with a digital display. It can also safely deliver power while the device is in motion. The Cota Power Receiver for IoT is designed to be: - cost effective - easy to use - easy to integrate - easy to customize through [Marubun](https://www.marubun.co.jp/en/) ["](https://www.nikkei.com/nkd/company/?scode=7537)[Marubun](https://www.marubun.co.jp/en/) is uniquely suited to develop the [Cota](https://blog.ossia.com/definitive-guide-to-wireless-power) sensor due to its long-standing history and experience in the electronics space and its well established, end-to-end development processes. We are excited for this next step for Cota," says [Stovall](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dougstovall/). "It should benefit not only many businesses, but also the millions of employees who use the wirelessly powered devices." Fujino says, "We are especially excited to see how our customers leverage the online [Cota](https://blog.ossia.com/definitive-guide-to-wireless-power) management platform offered by [Ossia](https://www.ossia.com/). Managing hundreds or even thousands of devices remotely can have exponential benefits for our customers and partners." The Cota Power Receiver for IoT is expected to be available through [Marubun](https://www.marubun.co.jp/en/) for limited distribution as early as Q1 2022, with a full release in Q2 2022.   [![Now Licensing for Commercial, Industrial & Business Uses.](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2870932/192aebc6-3990-4ae9-badf-d4d0959e0d55.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2870932/192aebc6-3990-4ae9-badf-d4d0959e0d55) ## Related Post ### [Wireless Power Technology Conferenc...](https://www.ossia.com/news/wireless-power-technology-conference-expo-hosted-by-ieee-in-san-diego-in-june) By Ossia Inc. ### [Healthcare Americana Podcast: Ossia...](https://www.ossia.com/news/healthcare-americana-podcast-ossias-hatam-zeine-on-wireless-tech-tearing-down-barriers) By Ossia Inc. ### [Building a Healthier Future with Re...](https://www.ossia.com/news/building-a-healthier-future-with-real-wireless-power) By Ossia Inc. ![Logotypeossia](https://www.ossia.com/hubfs/Logotypeossia.svg) Suite 2425 2425 152nd Ave NE Redmond, WA 98052 USA ### Product [Cota®](https://www.ossia.com/cota) [Licensing](https://www.ossia.com/licensing) [Partners](https://www.ossia.com/partners) ### Company [Team](https://www.ossia.com/about/team) [Careers](https://www.ossia.com/about/careers) [Contact](https://www.ossia.com/contact) ### Legal [Privacy Policy](https://www.ossia.com/privacy-policy) [Terms of service](https://www.ossia.com/privacy-policy) ### News & Updates ©Copyright 2023 Ossia Inc.
