BARCELONA, Spain -- Mobile World Congress -- Powermat, the undisputed leader in wireless charging, will expand its reach at an ambitious rate of one global market per month through the end of 2010. The bold announcement was made today in support of the unyielding appetite of partners around the world, who have called upon the wireless charging pioneer to access every market that can benefit from wireless energy.
In meeting the global demand for Powermat products, the company will expand its current distribution channels to carriers, wireless agents, mobile phone retailers, specialty retail and mass market retailers throughout the North American, South American, Asian, Australian and pan-European markets.
Just four months ago, Powermat launched its premiere product line in the US to great success as consumers flocked to stores with over 750,000 units shipped and widespread sell outs in just the first two months of availability. Having solidified a stronghold on the consumer market, Powermat will now introduce new supportive technology aimed at the OEM. The company will pioneer its new Adaptive ASIC (A2) chip; a breakthrough achieved by miniaturizing Powermat technology to a level that allows for seamless integration into virtually any device. Adaptive ASIC draws on infrastructure already in place by original equipment manufacturers (OEM) as a basis for adapting Powermat wireless capability to fit the need of the OEM rather than the other way around.
"We do the work so they don't have to," said Ran Poliakine, CEO. "The OEM now has the ability to input multiple charging parameters into a processor and, in a matter of minutes, obtain a custom designed receiver that fits their specific device."
The unmatched flexibility, scalability and performance of the Powermat technology and its turnkey development process enable the growth and adaptation of wireless charging across broad ranging markets. In keeping with its high rate of innovation and speed to market, the company will introduce its second generation ASIC chip and OEM development kit in the third quarter to further advance the wireless charging category it has pioneered.
"Powermat continues to lead the way in the wireless charging industry, delivering not only an advanced technology solution, but also a great customer experience," said Kevin Nolan, Vice President of the User Experience at Strategy Analytics. "The company's speed to market, full suite of products and dedicated consumer focus continues to be impressive."
In addition to the large-scale expansion that Powermat has planned to reach markets that include France, Spain, South Africa, Australia and Korea among others, the company will also introduce an entirely new line of products. Building upon the massive success of its initial product launch, Powermat is unveiling a wide range of new and innovative charging solutions for 2010, which offer consumers additional options in both the number of devices they can wirelessly charge as well as the number of ways they can charge them.
