Splashpower Announces Universal Wireless Recharging

Patent-Pending, Next-Generation Solution Wirelessly Charges Any Device - Ranging from PDAs and Mobile Phones to Personal Music Players, Imaging Devices and More

• Contactless, efficient, wire-free power - Enabling total user convenience, Splashpower can power-up multiple devices anywhere on the pad - devices don't even have to be in physical contact to begin recharging. First-generation solutions use a matrix of physical contacts which drastically impact the aesthetics, reliability and form-factor of any device into which they are designed. The Splashpower solution enables direct user & OEM benefits compared with contact-based and other wire-free systems. As the SplashModule is contactless, extremely thin and malleable, product design aesthetics are not compromised, reliability is dramatically improved and issues with contact corrosion, waterproofing, contamination and physical size are eliminated.

• Fast and safe charging rates - Using Splashpower technology does not compromise recharging times - devices are powered at the same rate as with conventional wired adapters, regardless of the number of devices on the pad. This is also a great solution for users with multiple devices and too few outlets - one SplashPad in one outlet can recharge several devices at once, eliminating the clutter of congested outlets. Splashpower conforms to worldwide safety standards and regulations.

• Low-cost technology with minimal to zero impact on device packaging or internal circuitry - The SplashModule is very thin (sub-millimeter) and can be easily integrated inside a device's casing, thus replacing an external DC power supply and requiring no modification to the charge control circuitry. Contact-based technology requires obtrusive external modifications and is comparatively costly to implement - up to 4X more costly than Splashpower. Competing technologies require a costly chip in the device to communicate to a recharge 'base' - costs that are unnecessary in the Splashpower solution. Bill of material (BOM) costs are also substantially reduced using Splashpower, as it eliminates both the control chip and the external charger for any device - a benefit for both OEM and consumers.

• SplashPads can be anywhere - The SplashPad is very low profile (less than 6mm thick) and can be easily integrated anywhere a consumer needs to recharge a device, in virtually any shape or size - coffee shops, cars, airport lounges (or airplane tray tables!), hotels, the desktop or anywhere you need - Splashpower can be there.

• Exciting 'lifestyle' products - Splashpower technology opens up a whole new world of great products - free from the constraints of big, ugly physical connectors. Designers will be free to innovate with new styles, forms, packages and textures - giving consumers a whole new dimension in lifestyle and brand meaning.
