Green Plug (News - Alert), a developer of digital technology enabling real-time collaboration between consumer electronic devices and their power sources, is reportedly teaming with WiPower, a technology company in the wireless power transfer market, to create power adapters that can dynamically adjust power delivery to wireless charging systems.

 

"Establishing communications between the power adapter and the charging pad allows for the benefits of intelligent power management while the wireless platform can aggregate several smaller consumer devices," said Rahul Razdan, chief executive officer at WiPower.

 

"Optimal power architecture should not place a requirement for communication between the mat and device in the wireless charging system because of the burden it places on consumer devices. Working with Green Plug, we've come up with a much more efficient approach."

 

WiPower's technology and products are based on modified coreless inductive technology which facilitates sending power over short distances to compatible electronic devices. Users can quickly and conveniently charge cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras and other devices by simply placing them in any position atop a WiPower charging pad.

 

WiPower technology removes the need for sophisticated controls, while still allowing placement of the device being charged anywhere on top of a charging pad. This technology totally eliminates the requirement of complex control systems, says the company.

 

Green Plug's Greentalk protocol provides communication between the power adapter and wireless power system that will enable the system to dynamically tune the output of the power adapter based on the power needs of the devices on the mat.

 

"Wireless charging is a great way to get power to mobile devices," said Frank Paniagua, Jr., chief executive officer and founder of Green Plug.

 

"WiPower has solved a number of tough problems -- simultaneously charging multiple devices with different power requirements, optimizing efficiency, and doing away with strict alignment or charging zones to make things work properly. We are confident that our joint research will yield further improvements to the wireless charging experience," said Paniagua Jr.
