Cota works very similarly to WiFi, except instead of sending data, it sends power. The Cota Power Receiver, embedded into any device initiates power transfer by sending a beacon signal to find a Cota Power Transmitter. The transmitter then sends power back in the same exact reflected paths. This ‘conversation’ between the device and transmitter happens 100x/second, to send power safely to devices at a distance while in motion in even the most crowded environments. All Cota-enabled devices will receive power simultaneously.
