Wireless Power Consortium updates Qi to allow charging of devices up to 40mm away

Wireless Power Consortium updates Qi to allow charging of devices up to 40mm away

If you've always loved the idea of wireless charging, perhaps for novelty value or because you really, really despise the clutter of wires on the floor/table, you will be pleased to learn that the Wireless Power Consortium has announced today that they will be updating the Qi wireless charging standard. The update will now allow for inductive charging to take place over longer distances. Previously the standard required devices to be within 5mm from the magnetic platform, but thanks to the update, 5 watt devices will now be able to receive power even when placed up to 40mm away from the platform.

Ubergizmo, Wireless Power Consortium updates Qi to allow charging of devices up to 40mm away
