WiPower technology makes use of two components that are typical of all wireless power transfer systems: a transmitter and a receiver. The WiPower charging pad is designed like a tablet on top of which devices can be placed for charging. The pad is a standalone unit or can be integrated directly into desks and other furnishings. On the other side, the receiver is retrofitted to, or integrated into the electronic device. When devices with a WiPower receiver are placed in any position or orientation on top of the charging pad, they will charge as if connected to a conventional power supply. Our technology and products are based on a modified coreless inductive technology architecture.

Technical innovation
WiPower has made several discoveries in electromagnetic optimization, system level optimization, and quasi-resonant load networks. At its core, the system uses a fundamentally new class of load network to enable the transmitter to adjust its output power by taking advantage of the reflected “signature” of pre-existing power management systems in each, individual device. Without any active systems, it can deliver power at high efficiency to an infinitely variable range of load conditions. By supporting an infinitely variable range of load conditions, the transmitter is capable of adapting to a virtually infinite number of receiver-side permutations.
