Mobile technology companies Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Qualcomm Inc. have got an agreement named Alliance Wireless Power (A4WP). The alliance is built to improve global standardization of wireless power transfer for the charging of consumer electronic equipment.

According to Qualcomm’s report, the A4WP will focus on a new wireless power transfer technology which provides spatial freedom for charging electrical devices in cars, on tabletops and for charging multiple devices simultaneously. As a leader in delivering enabling technology solutions, Qualcomm is helping to define the next-generation consumer electronics experience.

As the other member of A4WP, Samsung promises to support standardization of wireless charging technology boasting spatial freedom and contribute to the eco-system, and exploring possibilities of a variety of services. There are also other companies taking part in the AW4P such as SK Telecom, Ever Win Industries, Gill Industries, Peiker and Powermat Technologies.

The benefits of this wireless power approach include: a transmitter and receiver antenna design that is easily implemented, a simple wireless power control system, and the ability to transfer power through non-metallic surfaces. The A4WP expects to achieve this capability without the need for costly multi-coil repeaters which are required for other systems.
