The start-up Energous at CES a wireless charging system is shown that different devices in a space capable of wireless charging. The WattUp system, which uses a “Power Router”, focus rf signals to compatible devices over distances of up to six metres.
The Power Router of the WattUp system recognizes compatible devices using a low-energy bluetooth connection. On the basis of this information enables your mobile device to be localized, and then devices that have a small, special chip on board with focused rf signals on the 2.4 GHz band can be charged.
According to Energous can the WattUp system, different devices over a distance of six metres of wireless charging. The efficiency would be around seventy percent. On Engadget left an employee of Energous know that the charging circuit devices with an almost empty battery to give priority to the charging process. Also can an app be set when a device with the charging process should start.
There are still no devices announced that the necessary chip standard on board. The chips may, however, for example, sleeves included. Currently, the start-up looking to companies that are WattUp technology to use. Under the Foxconn would be already a deal closed. The company expects the first concrete products in 2016 on the market.
