PRESS RELEASE
Powermat Launches Wireless Energy to Consumers Nationwide
Wireless Charging System Changes the Way Consumers Charge their Personal Devices
COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, Mich., Oct. 7 — The unsightliness and hassle of wires and chargers have been relegated to the past as Powermat today launches its first line of wireless chargers. With real-time wireless charging for phones, games, music players and other popular electronic devices, Powermat allows users to wirelessly charge multiple devices simultaneously, charging as fast as or faster than the device’s charger. The company’s charging solution allows consumers to be more connected to their devices by creating a more enjoyable, faster and simpler experience. Whether at home, in the office or in a hotel room, Powermat enables a convenient, easy, speedy, and clutter-free lifestyle.
The Powermat system pairs an ultra-thin mat with a sleek receiver that attaches to each device, enabling users to simply drop and charge. Custom receivers are available for the iPhone, iPod, Nintendo and Blackberry devices. These and other devices may be charged using the convenient Powercube, a universal receiver that will charge hundreds of devices.
The technology is a pairing of magnetic induction and Powermat’s proprietary technology together delivering the fastest and most efficient wireless charging. By charging up to three devices from only one power source, Powermat provides consumers with an energy efficient option to traditional chargers. The system also initiates an “electronic conversation” between the mat and devices placed on the Powermat surface to ensure the optimum level of power is sent, and includes an auto-termination feature, which stops charging a device once it is fully charged to not only save energy but also protect the device.
“Powermat has officially eliminated ‘cord fatigue’ for personal device users with a faster, easy-to-use, stylish and convenient system, de-cluttering your home or office,” explains Ron Ferber, President of Powermat. “Our mat is like a refrigerator…you plug in one fridge to store many food items. You plug in one mat to power many devices.”
