MediaTek intros world's first multimode inductive and resonance wireless charging solution

LAS VEGAS, USA: MediaTek announced the successful development of multimode receiver technology for inductive and resonant charging using in-band communications. Demonstrations are available at its booth located at Venetian Hotel, CES 2014.

MediaTek offers advanced, cutting-edge wireless charging technology with enhancements over previous solutions. Traditionally, wireless charging has been done through tightly coupled technology, commonly referred to as inductive. MediaTek's solution has adopted loosely coupled technology, commonly referred to as resonance, and offers significant advantages over today's inductive approach. The major benefits include:

* charging devices with freedom of movement with easy, imprecise placement of the device.
* charging multiple devices concurrently from a single affordable charger coil.
* charging different sized devices with largely different power needs from the same charger.
* charging different devices with vastly different form factors free of the need for precise coil to coil alignment.
* charging devices across distances, through furniture or even walls.

Along with the highly differentiated resonance solution MediaTek brings innovative multimode receiver technology that enable users to charge their devices from existing inductive chargers or new resonance chargers. MediaTek is the first in the industry to take this step of providing true multimode capability.
