“This is a major agreement for us in the consumer electronics market and enables us to leverage our wireless power technology and IP to deliver the best user experience to a mass audience,” said Fady Mishriki EVP and CTO at PowerbyProxi. “SEMCO’s extensive due diligence clearly demonstrates that the strength of our IP and engineering capabilities solve many of the technical challenges limiting current versions of wireless power. Our partnership is further evidence that wireless power and charging are fast becoming mainstream,” said Mishriki.

There are a variety of wireless charging solutions on the market, what is Samsung’s ultimate goal? Samsung could not only be looking to advance their own consumer electronics and home appliance lines, they could be working on creating a standard for wireless charging and power. Doing so puts them in a good situation for licensing the technology to other companies. What do you think of this partnership?
