- A company called WiCharge is working with Belkin to release across-the-room wireless charging products.
- At least two of these products will launch in 2022.
- The technology uses IR beams to “beam” power straight to a device from a power node in some other location within a room.
Wireless charging is great. However, is it really “wireless”? You still need to have the charging pad or dock plugged in and whatever you’re charging needs to be right there. Really, all it does is prevent you from needing to physically connect a device to a cable, but you are still tethered.
A company called WiCharge is determined to change this. Today, the company announced (via TechCrunch) that it is bringing at least two across-the-room wireless charging products to consumers in 2022. The company is partnering with popular accessories manufacturer Belkin for this endeavor.
