Problem
Traditional wireless charging solutions often require precise alignment and dedicated charging pads, leading to inconvenience and clutter in homes and commercial spaces. Users are limited by fixed charging spots and the need to manage multiple cables and adapters for various devices.
Solution
FreePower offers a surface power solution that integrates wireless charging directly into countertops and other surfaces, eliminating the need for cords and charging pads. The technology utilizes a distributed coil matrix and proprietary algorithms to enable free-position charging, allowing users to place Qi-enabled devices anywhere on the active surface to receive power. FreePower is embedded beneath the surface of materials like stone, wood, and solid surfaces during fabrication, creating a seamless and aesthetically pleasing integration. The system intelligently manages power delivery to multiple devices simultaneously, optimizing charging speed and efficiency. A customizable Charging Halo provides visual feedback, indicating the active charging zone and device placement.
Target Audience
FreePower targets homeowners, business owners, interior designers, architects, and builders looking to integrate wireless charging seamlessly into residential and commercial spaces, including kitchens, bathrooms, offices, hotels, and restaurants.
