Ossia Inc. (Ossia), the company behind Cota® Real Wireless Power™, today announced a strategic partnership with FIH Mobile Limited (FIH). By joining forces, FIH and Ossia will together deliver unique design and manufacturing capabilities for the Cota technology.

From product design, development, integration/testing, to manufacturing and assembly, to after-sales services and repairs, its customer-focused, highly integrated approach ensures top quality execution and rapid delivery of everything.
Ossia’s FCC-certified Cota technology efficiently delivers targeted energy to devices at-a-distance without wires, cables, or charging pads. FIH brings best-in-class capabilities to collaborate with brands and product companies looking to design, integrate and develop Cota Real Wireless Power into their products.
The partnership with Ossia includes a strategic investment in the company to bring Cota Real Wireless Power to market. Utilizing FIH’s extensive breadth of design, manufacturing and total solution capabilities, including hardware, software, mechanical, quality validation/testing, cloud and services, FIH will bring unique value to brands looking to integrate Cota.
"Our alliance with Ossia allows FIH to facilitate the design, integration and manufacturing of products embedded with Cota wireless power," said Dr. Kuo Wen-Yi, Executive Director, FIH. "FIH has invested in Ossia as a vote of confidence in the company as the leader in wireless power technology."
Ossia continues to license its Cota technology to a growing ecosystem of brands, system integrators and device makers across the world. Ossia has received two FCC certifications for Cota wireless power systems last year, with many more planned as Cota-enabled products continue to develop. Ossia has a network of partners to refer licensees of the Cota technology to purchase silicon chips, complete integration design and manufacture Cota-enabled products. FIH joins the Cota ecosystem to accelerate bringing Real Wireless Power products to market.
"The Cota ecosystem became significantly stronger today as Ossia is a technology licensing company that depends on our partners for the integration and manufacturing of Cota-enabled products," said Doug Stovall, Chief Revenue Officer of Ossia. "We are thrilled to add the largest contract manufacturer in the world, FIH, to our stable of partnerships to firmly establish Cota as the global standard for wireless power. FIH not only brings manufacturing, but electronic optimization, design and volume pricing that will change the dynamic for brands seeking to integrate Cota into their portfolio."
