WattUp wireless technology does not require cables, ports or battery doors – so circuits and hardware are better protected against moisture and dust. WattUp enabled devices can also be set up to charge automatically at distance from a transmitter as soon as they’re in range – no need to manually check battery levels or connect chargers.

Finally, the system’s secure, cloud-based, management software also enables commanders to track how much power is being used by a device, and to gain advance notice of when it will need recharging. It also enables units to be able to monitor the health and status of batteries held in depots and storerooms so that they can be issued with full assurance.
