Ossia Inc

Ossia Inc is a privately held technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington, founded in 2008 by physicist and technologist Hatem Zeine. The company is the developer of Cota® Real Wireless Power™, a patented radio-frequency (RF) wireless power technology that delivers targeted energy to devices at a distance, without cables, charging pads, or line-of-sight requirements. Ossia operates as a technology licensing company: it does not sell products directly but licenses its Cota technology to OEMs, ODMs, brands, service providers, and manufacturers for integration into devices and transmitters. The Cota system works similarly to Wi-Fi, but instead of data it transmits power. A Cota Power Receiver embedded in a device sends a beacon signal to locate a Cota Power Transmitter; the transmitter then sends power back along the same paths, avoiding people and pets. This exchange occurs about 100 times per second, enabling safe, continuous power delivery to multiple devices in motion. The technology includes the Cota Receiver (a tiny silicon chip), the Cota Transmitter (which can take any shape), and Cota Cloud, cloud-based software for managing connected devices. Ossia was originally founded under the name Omnilectric in 2008 as a stealth-mode company where Zeine and his team designed and prototyped the early Cota system. The company officially launched as Ossia in 2013 and debuted Cota at TechCrunch Disrupt 2013. The name "Ossia" comes from the musical term indicating an alternative passage in a score, reflecting the company's vision of a new scientific approach to wireless power. Ossia targets applications in IoT, logistics and supply chain, and consumer electronics. Its technology aims to reduce maintenance needs, extend the shelf life of IoT products, enable real-time data streams, and support asset tracking and supply chain digitization. The company holds more than 180 US and international patents and has obtained regulatory approval in the US, UK, and over 45 other countries. Ossia partners with global development partners to bring Cota-enabled products to market. Its mission emphasizes sustainability by offsetting the environmental, societal, and economic impact of batteries.

Ossia Inc was founded in 2008 by physicist and technologist Hatem Zeine, originally under the name Omnilectric. The company operated in stealth mode, where Zeine and a team of engineers designed and prototyped the early Cota wireless power system. Zeine had realized the feasibility of over-the-air power delivery and started the company to pursue his vision. In 2013, the company officially launched as Ossia and debuted its Cota® wireless power technology at TechCrunch Disrupt 2013. The name "Ossia" is derived from the musical term meaning an alternative passage in a score, chosen to reflect the company's mission of providing a brand-new scientific approach to wireless power rather than an incremental improvement. The development of the Cota wireless power receiver, transmitter, and cloud software was driven by extensive research and the needs of the entire wireless power ecosystem, from OEMs to end users. Ossia's patented RF smart antenna technology automatically keeps multiple devices charged without user intervention, enabling a truly wire-free, powered-up world. By the 2020s, Ossia had accumulated more than 180 US and international patents and obtained regulatory approval in the United States, the United Kingdom, and over 45 other countries. The company positioned itself as a technology licensing company, partnering with OEMs, ODMs, brands, service providers, and manufacturers to integrate Cota into their products. Ossia remains privately held and headquartered in Redmond, Washington, continuing to innovate and improve its Cota technology.
