Motorola exhibits “OTA) wireless technology that is over-the-the-water (OTA) in unregistered and suspected video demonstrations – and while it still seems not ready from production production, the company shows that one of the charging stations can be long-range juice to over four phones at once.
The station itself (or prototype shown in the video, at least) looks like a wifi router – rectangular gray plastic on the holder with flashing lights on the side and the Motorola logo displayed in the middle.
Video shows stations that charge up to four cellphones (what appears as the Motorola edge featured device, maybe with wireless charging rolls) at a distance of one meter, and shows the station to recharge up to three meters. Whether it can make the juice some devices in the range it is not clear, and it seems to have a maximum filling rate of 5W according to Android Central, the first video found.
It’s trivial tariff compared to other wireless chargers on the market, which exceeds the even affordable model; Of course, those who only charge if the device is placed directly above the charger. It’s much easier, if it’s slower, to have one station in the middle of the room to recharge the phone in my pocket or in hand.
Analysis: Above air charging, the next limit?
Most of the superior cellphones packed wireless charging today, but as mentioned earlier, the ‘wireless’ section only means that there is no wire between cellphones and chargers – still requires the proximity of transfer power.
The advantage for charging air is clear, but it is not clear how close we are to get a fully functional version, especially compatible cellphones if they need more than a wireless charging cable. However, not many fonemaker people on charging air, but – only Motorola, Xiaomi, and Oppo have claimed that they are working on technology.
Motorola works with teacher companies to develop space filling technology, using radio waves to recharge devices remotely, while the air cost of MI Xiaomi is an in-house solution with a five-phase interference antenna to find and free cellphone. The Oppo solution chose magnetic resonance to juice telephone, but had less choices than Xiaomi’s option, at least for now.
All of these technologies seem to be far from being ready to hit the market, but at least they are on the way – more than we can say for the possibility of the Samsung Ota option, which only appears in the patent.
