Powermat Launches Line Of Wireless Charging Products

Powermat USA has unveiled a line of 15 wireless-energy products capable of delivering real time, wireless charging for portable electronic devices including iPods, iPhones, Blackberry and mobile phones, GPS, handheld games and even laptop computers.

According to Powermat, based on principles of magnetic induction, its technology renders traditional conductive charging technology obsolete, in favor of an entirely new energy distribution process. Designed for use at home, at the office and on the road, Powermat states that its technology facilitates fast and energy-efficient power delivery.

Consumers simply plug in their Powermat and place up to (depending on model) six different Powermat-enabled devices on the mat to charge. Charging occurs at the same rate as if each device were charging with its own charger.

"Our first line of products takes wireless charging to its next evolutionary level," said Ron Ferber, President. "Not only do we eliminate the unmanageable tangle of ’wire spaghetti’ that accumulates behind and around work stations and home offices, we also eliminate the need to use multiple bulky chargers to power numerous electronic devices. Above all, we provide the consumer with a better, easier, and totally simplified one-stop method for powering multiple electronics in virtually any environment. The breadth of our initial assortment is tremendous, offering wireless solutions for all ages and demographics; from the iPod playing Gameboy toting student to the PC-carrying, Blackberry-communicating adult."

Powermat utilizes magnetic induction as a power delivery method, combined with significant IP developed in Israel by Powermat; eliminating the traditional cluster of wires and line cords. Powermat offers a ‘complete’ solution with what is described as a unique capability to deliver electrical power in either low or high capacity for products as varied as cell phones or laptops. There is no product in the market that can charge both types of devices simultaneously, on the same mat and using a single plug.

Powermat’s inductive technology pairs an ultra-thin mat (5 models to choose from) with a variety of receivers, which connect to electronic devices. Future applications can be embedded directly into walls, ceilings, tabletops or other surfaces, enhancing virtually any surface to become an invisible connectivity point for wire-free energy. The Powermat system even allows for the wireless transmission of data – audio & video – allowing users to sync their iPods or transmit video to their TVs at very efficient transfer rates.
