Fulton Innovation teams with global leader, embeds wireless charging technology in smartphone cases

Embedding wireless charging technology in the carrying cases of mobile electronic devices could revolutionize the mobile technology industry. An Ada innovator has partnered with a global manufacturer to put the technology in the hands of consumers on the go, freeing them from dependence on wired chargers.

According to excerpts from the story:

It seems eCoupled has finally found a a business plan that can’t fail to succeed. They have teamed up with case-mate to embed their technology in smartphone cases, finally solving the problem of having to remove the phone from the case to charge. This is of course particularly an issue for fully sealed cases, where either solutions were very cumbersome, or removal of the case was mandatory.
 
“Our partnership with case-mate is an important step in the introduction of eCoupled wireless power to the consumer electronics marketplace,” said Dave Baarman, Director of Advanced Technologies for Fulton Innovation. “By teaming with case-mate to create protective skin solutions embedded with eCoupled technology, we’re enabling consumers with existing market-influencing devices, suited for case-mate products, the ability to charge them wirelessly.”
