As reported by GigaOM: Hoping to rid the world of power cords, WiTricity announced a new technology licensing agreement with Intel
on Tuesday. Both the wireless charging company and the chip-maker are
board members of the Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP) which has
adopted WiTricity’s Rezence magnetic resonance charging technology.
I recently saw WiTricity’s wireless charging solution in action;
earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show the company provided
me this demo showing how devices can be recharged without even touching a charging pad.
With the new agreement, WiTricity will be working with Intel to
integrate the Rezence technology into Intel-powered devices. That could
mean future computers, tablets, phones and even wearable devices with
Intel inside could be recharged simply by putting them on or near a
wireless charging pad.
Aside from the fact that both companies are on the same wireless
standards body board, there’s another connection. Intel Capital is one
of the main investors in WiTricity, which was originally spun out from
an MIT project.
