The Resonant Extension of the Qi Specification

So many different ways to charge things
One thing in common…

The biggest wireless revolution is yet to come… are you ready?

Over 110 years later
A significant change is on the horizon
• from plugging to placing
• from sockets to surfaces
Are we close to “no wires” experience?
Is 2015 the year wireless power goes mainstream?

Early 2015…
Samsung’s Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge join 682 products with Qi
Every major smartphone manufacturer (except 3) have products with Qi built in
Many major brands are deploying Qi transmitter infrastructure
Qi is the de-facto standard for wireless charging

The resonant extension of Qi
A solid foundation has been established
How can we build on the success of Qi to date and enable the following new requirements?
• Higher power charging
• Multi-device charging
• Multi-type of device charging (differing power levels)
• Spatial freedom (X, Y & Z) and support for non-planar charging
• Full compatibility with Qi v1.1
• And most importantly: how can we do these things safely (RF exposure), efficiently & without harmful interference (EMI)?

The resonant extension of Qi…
The WPC resolved to
• Develop a resonant extension of Qi v1.1 that enables these requirements
• Keep “the promise of Qi” - provide 100% compatibility with the existing Qi v1.1 transmitters and receivers
• Establish a special Resonant Task Force (RTF) to evaluate all possible options for extending the specification
• Invite the best companies in the industry to contribute and create a new class of membership (Full Members) to allow contributions by non-steering group members
Many fundamental considerations for the resonant extension to Qi
• Multi-coil vs. perimeter coils
• Efficiency
• Safety – human RF exposure, heating of friendly and foreign metal (FOD), EMI/EMC
• Frequency of operation
• Communications protocol (in band / out of band)

Qi resonant extension major milestone achieved in Auckland meeting
0.5 draft of Resonant Qi extension agreed by the task force
First resonant system proven to pass pre-compliance testing with Qi v1.1 • Resonant receiver 100% pass
• Resonant transmitter 100% pass
A resonant system compliant with the largest installed base of wireless power
