Under terms of the agreement, MWg devices will be equipped by mid year with Splashpower’s inductive charging technology. Mark Billington, MWg’s ceo, said: “This is a superb opportunity for MWg to provide the convenience of wireless power to our customers. We are a strong advocate of innovative technology that enhances the consumer experience. The addition of this technology will provide end users greater flexibility in charging their handsets.” “MWg is a proven innovator who will effectively showcase our technology,” adds Bill Campbell, Splashpower’s ceo. “The charging convenience and universality we offer is a natural addition to the exciting new devices in the 2008 MWg roadmap.” Splashpower is a leading developer of wireless power technology. Its inductive charging technology enables power to be transferred without wires to a range of mobile devices. In addition, the technology is said to support charging on a single platform, rather than the current charger per device model.
