The WiPower Technology
There was the WiPower technology that was on display at the CTIA wireless show held in Orlando in March. This technology allows for power to be transmitted over a distance with no wires. The principle of operation of this technology is based on magnetic resonance. This technology has not yet been publicly disclosed but is in its nascent stages. There would not be the need for direct physical contact between the charger and the device. Mobile phones therefore would be one of the first devices that would be benefitted with such a technology as the battery life of a mobile device is one of its major banes as of now. Along with mobile phones there are also the tablets and readers and other such infotainment devices that would be benefited with this technology. Those employed in radiography jobs would liken it to instruments that work on electromagnetic radiation
Not only is the advantage of independence to distance and physical connection gained, there is also the probability of the same charger being used to charge two or multiple units simultaneously. Therefore, two cell phones therefore could be charged together at the same time using this technology.
There is an expected growth of recharging stations in an exponential manner given the increasing demand and use of mobile devices, and the major device in that being the cell phone. There are hopes that the technology would get into commercial production stage early next year. The main hurdle as of now is obtaining the FCC clearance, which Qualcomm have indicated is in talks with the necessary people. Duracell have been identified as the product development agent once clearance has been obtained.
Mobile device makers wait for this technology with bated breath. This would have wide ramifications of the sales of their devices as also the charger sets that they would have to ensure their device is compatible with.
