Wireless Charging may become usable with Qualcomm's effort
Wireless charging has long been a possibility but not an entirely straightforward one, but that could change if Qualcomm has its way. The chip company has announced alliances with Duracell and Powermat to explore new wireless charging technologies and potentially establish an industry alliance to push a power standard.
The alliance will take advantage of the three company’s hitherto independent research into wireless power: Duracell’s MyGrid, Powermat‘s eponymous system, and Qualcomm’s own Wipower system. With Powermat, Qualcomm will explore a dual-mode receiver ASIC backward-compatible with both technologies, while moving forward Powermat’s range will be based on Wipower altogether.
As for Duracell, it seems they and Qualcomm will be pushing Wipower as a standard moving forward. If the three companies can manage to gain enough weight in the wireless charging industry, it’s possible we could see Qualcomm-based smartphones including wireless power tech as standard in the future.
