The Wattup Mid Field Can Charge One's Phone from Three Feet Away
Ellen Smith — December 27, 2017 — Tech
Smart devices have become so ingrained in our day-to-day lives, that we begin to panic at the sight of a low battery, which is why the WattUp Mid Field charger is providing a deep sense of relief for anyone who's attached to their smart device.
What's so revolutionary about this particular charger is that fact that it offers a contactless charge. This means that the device can re-fuel one's battery from up to three feet away. The device is being developed by a San Jose-based start up, and is calling the technology 'power-at-a-distance.' The process possible as the transmitter converts electricity into radio frequencies, which can then charge a nearby device without the need for electrical outlets.
This device has just been granted approval from FCC and hopes to be available for public consumption in the near future.
