Ossia Corporate Backgrounder  Company:   Ossia  is  challenging  people's  core  assumptions  about  what  is  possible  with  wireless  

power.  Ossia's  flagship  product,  Cota,  redefines  wireless  power  by  safely  delivering    remote,  targeted  energy  to  devices  as  far  away  as  30  feet.  Built  on  Ossia's  patented    smart  antenna  technology,  Cota  automatically  keeps  multiple  devices  charged    without  any  user  intervention,  enabling  an  efficient  and  truly  wire-­‐free,  powered-­‐up    world,  that  is  always  on  and  always  connected.  Headquartered  in  Redmond,    Washington,  Ossia  operated  in  stealth  since  its  founding  in  2008,  and  publicly    launched  at  TechCrunch  Disrupt  San  Francisco  2013.    

Market:   Only  two  years  ago,  industry  analysts  predicted  that  wireless  charging  systems  would  become  a  global  market  of  approximately  $4.5  billion  by  the  end  of  2014.  Today,  largely  due  to  the  lack  of  a  clear  industry  standard,  analysts  have  grown  concerned  this  important  new  capability  will  remain  a  “niche  category”  for  some  time.  Still,  analysts  are  making  optimistic  predictions,  ranging  from  IMS  Research  estimating  wireless  charging  will  be  worth  $4.5B  by  2016  to  Pike  Research  predicting  wireless  power  products  will  represent  a  $15B  market  by  2020.    

Technology:   Everyday  people  use  myriad  devices  –  from  smartphones,  to  remote  controls,  to    electric  toothbrushes  and  more.  Ossia  envisions  a  world  where  all  of  these  battery-­‐  powered  devices  never  require  being  plugged  into  the  wall  or  tethered  to  a  pad  to    recharge,  and  batteries  won’t  ever  need  to  be  replaced.    With  Cota,  Ossia  is  making  its    vision  a  reality  for  consumers  all  over  the  world.  Cota  is  real  wireless  power.      

The  Cota  technology  uses  a  Wi-­‐Fi-­‐like  signal  and  is  designed  to  charge  many  devices  simultaneously,  regardless  of  whether  a  device  is  stationary  or  moving.  At  an  effective  charging  radius  of  30  feet,  a  single  Cota  charging  station  can  charge  the  battery-­‐operated  devices  in  every  room  of  an  average  home  or  office  suite.    

Under  license  from  Ossia,  consumer  electronics  OEMs  and  ODMs  will  be  able  to  include  Cota  receivers  in  new  products  and  will  have  the  opportunity  to  build  their  own  branded  Cota  transmitters.    Existing  battery-­‐powered  devices  will  be  able  to  be  retrofitted  with  Cota  receivers.  In  addition,  some  construction  and  energy  businesses  are  already  exploring  non-­‐consumer  electronics  applications  for  Cota-­‐based  wire-­‐free  power.
