Wireless Power Consortium:
Creating the Standard for Wireless Charging

View a Prezi that explains our goals and how far we are:

WIRELESS IS BEAUTIFUL

We love the freedom to stay and go wherever we like. Linked but not tied. Connected without wires.

CONNECTORS AND CABLES ARE UGLY

Let’s get rid of the last wire. Why do we still need to plug the power cable in our phones and headsets?

CONNECTORS AND CABLES ARE UNNECESSARY

Electric power can be transported without wires or connectors. Power transfer over short distances is surprisingly simple.

WIRELESS BATTERY CHARGING IS POPULAR

Short distance power transmission is used in many products. Toothbrushes, LED candles, remote controls, medical equipment and phones. It is reliable and convenient.

INCOMPATIBILITY IS BAD

We all love wireless products but hesitate to stuff our desks and homes with incompatible charging stations. We demand that our charging station will work with products from many companies, and will work with next year’s models as well.

INTEROPERABILITY IS GOOD

The Wireless Power Consortium sets the international standard for interoperable wireless charging. Interoperable products can be recognized by the logo “Qi”. Phones, cameras, remote controls, and all mobile electronics carrying the logo will work with all charging stations that carry the logo. Simple and obvious.
