How nice would it be if your phone starts charging as soon as you step into your home… Whereas some years ago mobile phones’ wireless charging was only available for a select few, nowadays this technology becomes increasingly accessible. Samsung and several other brands like Sony and LG have launched smartphone models that can be charged wirelessly through Qi technology and it seems that Apple will follow soon now that they have joined the Wireless Consortium. The Consortium is a group of leading companies working together on the Qi standard for wireless charging. As many as 76% of consumers indicate they would use this technology if it was built into their smartphones. In order to respond to this need, large companies increasingly work with Zens to create wireless charging spots and solutions in working areas. For example, Starbucks’ and McDonalds’ customers will be able to charge their phones by simply placing them on the charging point in their table. Zens offers the technology and possibilities to charge your mobile device in an increasing number of places, in cars or on furniture. Since 2013, the number of car models incorporating Qi technology has doubled year on year. In the meantime, all major automotive brands now make use of this technology. Zens works on techniques and integrated charging spots that offer the possibility of charging your phone, smartwatch or even laptop wherever you are. CONTI NTI
