SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/05/15 -- Energous Corporation ("Energous" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: WATT), the developer of WattUp™, a disruptive wire-free charging technology for mobile electronic devices that provides power at a distance of up to 15 feet under full software control, today announced the opening of a new office space in Costa Mesa, California.

Rizzone, President and CEO of Energous. "We are excited to announce the opening of this new office as it allows us to bolster our team with extraordinary engineers who share our passion to completely change the paradigm for how people charge their mobile devices."
