One of the ways to develop mobile electronics is the creation and improvement of mechanisms for wireless charging. These ideas interest many market participants: there are at least three standard wireless power transmission , which are supported by a specially assembled alliances - Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP), Power Matters Alliance (PMA) and the Wireless Power Consortium ( WPC).
What is typical, Qualcomm, which previously was confident of the superiority of its own standard, has decided to join the Consortium wireless electromagnetic energy (WPC). This organization is engaged in the development and promotion of technology transfer induction, known as Qi. The consortium was formed in 2008 with the aim of creating a single standard wireless charging.
The ecosystem Qi has been actively growing. WPC decided to support more than 170 companies, and among them not only the manufacturers of electronics, but also, for example, automobile giants. Devices for wireless charging will be built into cars Audi, BMW, Daimler, Porsche and Volkswagen, with 2014 cars similar equipment will supply Mercedes-Benz.
