KI is showcasing what they call eCoupled Intelligent Wireless Power Technology into the furniture they design and make. Basically the technology charges laptops, cell phones, etc, without plugging them in or having to deal with wires.
Here’s the release….
KI, an industry-leading global provider of healthcare, education and business furniture, is one such company committed to making it easy for consumers to access wireless charging systems. Recently demonstrated at CES and at NeoCon, KI showed how eCoupled Intelligent Wireless Power Technology will be built directly into its tables and desking for higher education, business and other environments.
KI’s furniture is being introduced with built-in wireless surfaces that charge laptops and cell phone without plugging them in or having to cope with the exasperating snakes of wires.
In the not too far future, laptops, cell phones and MP3 players will be eCoupled-enabled so consumers can charge many brands of different devices by simply putting them down on a surface that meets Qi standards.
For today’s interior designers, facilities managers and architects, wireless power creates a less cluttered, cleaner, aesthetically pleasing work environment. For end-users, eCoupled eliminates the hassles of cords, mats and the inconvenience of being tethered to a power brick.
