Flagship Launch Kicks off Collaboration between
Powermat & Samsung
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1, 2015 /CNW/ -- Powermat Technologies
today announced a strategic collaboration with Samsung on wireless
power technologies, to optimize Samsung devices for the
fast-growing Powermat Network. The first fruit of this
collaboration is the inclusion of PMA-compatible Powermat wireless
charging in the Galaxy s6.
Powermat and Samsung plan to collaborate in embedding Powermat
wireless charging into a growing number of devices in the future to
deliver convenient wireless charging to its consumers.
By embedding Powermat wireless charging into the Galaxy s6,
consumers will be able to seamlessly access any of the growing
number of wireless charging 'hotspots' in public venues across the
world. This includes select U.S. Starbucks locations, as part
of Powermat's national rollout. Other venues where consumers can
simply place their phones on a Powermat charging spot to get free
wireless charging include select McDonald's locations, Coffee Bean
& Tea Leaf stores, and Delta
Airline Lounges among other US and international venues.
"Samsung is a world leader in developing state-of-the-art
devices and a true visionary company in adopting wireless charging
for mass distribution," said Thorsten
Heins, CEO of Powermat Technologies. "Being embedded
into the Galaxy s6 is a major first step in what we believe will be
a groundbreaking alliance between our two companies to benefit
consumers worldwide."
"We are very pleased to bring the Galaxy s6, the world's first
embedded wireless charging solution that supports any wireless
charging pad available in the market," said Peter Koo, Senior Vice President of Samsung
Technology Strategy Team. "Through close engineering together
with Powermat, our customers will be able to enjoy the hassle-free,
convenient wireless charging anywhere, anytime."
