PowerSquare, Inc., a fast-growing startup in the wireless power industry, today announced the launch of its patent-pending Adaptive Position-Free (APF) system that simultaneously refuels multiple Qi-compatible devices. Developing technology that charges more than one device, on a large surface, in any position, has been a key challenge for the ever-evolving wireless power industry. Technology solutions today, however, often leverage expensive multiple-coil systems. As a result, companies cannot go to market with these products and leave them as proof of concept.

“The PowerSquare team is thrilled to launch our Adaptive Position-Free system. The wireless power ecosystem now has a cost-effective way to collaborate and deliver greater innovation around existing standards to consumers,” said Pavan Pudipeddi, CEO of PowerSquare. “Our goal is to partner with developers and create a range of marketable, consumer-friendly devices. With combined experience of more than 50 years, the PowerSquare team has been part of the industry’s evolution. We look forward to playing an integral role in its growth moving forward.”

The company will launch its Qi Wireless Charging Pad, the first PowerSquare branded, APF-based consumer product by December 2014. PowerSquare executives have already contributed to some of the wireless world’s biggest milestones, including the first mobile USB fast charger and the first smartphone embedded with wireless power. They have served a wide range of roles at technology giants including Texas Instruments, Analog Devices and National Semiconductor (acquired by Texas Instruments in 2011 for $6.5 billion).

PowerSquare is a member of the Wireless Power Consortium, the global organization striving to make Qi the worldwide standard for wireless charging. The WPC is composed of more than 200 companies that serve the mobile phone, electronic, battery, wireless power, semiconductor, infrastructure and component marketplaces. PowerSquare’s goal to partner with the ecosystem and develop quality APF-based products helps further the WPC’s objective to improve the wireless power industry.
