高通(Qualcomm)表示將加盟無線充電產(chǎn)業(yè)組織 WPC (Wireless Power Consortium)，該組織是該公司所創(chuàng)始的另一無線充電產(chǎn)業(yè)組織 A4WP (Alliance for Wireless Power)的對手陣營；高通此舉是為了鼓勵市場對共振(resonant)/松散耦合(loosely coupled)無線充電技術(shù)的采用。 高 通同時支持兩大無線產(chǎn)業(yè)組織的消息，是因?yàn)?WPC 主席Menno Treffers 所發(fā)表的一篇博客文章，透露高通與美國電信業(yè)者Verizon Wireless加入該組織。高通的WiPower 技術(shù)與A4WP 的1.0版磁共振充電技術(shù)規(guī)規(guī)格一致；該技術(shù)可同時進(jìn)行數(shù)個設(shè)備的充電，且具備充電平臺上設(shè)備擺放位置的彈性。 A4WP的支持者包括創(chuàng)始成員高通、三星(Samsung)、英特爾(Intel)等大廠，以及其它超過50家廠商成員；WPC則是一家歷史更悠久、成員數(shù)更多且標(biāo)準(zhǔn)更成熟的組織。 高 通在提供給EETimes美國版的聲明稿中表示，該公司的目標(biāo)是藉由與其它產(chǎn)業(yè)創(chuàng)新者更緊密的合作，提供一個機(jī)會以進(jìn)行全球性單一共振無線充電技術(shù)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn) 化工作；該公司表示，WPC先前宣布計(jì)劃轉(zhuǎn)向發(fā)展類似高通與A4WP所開發(fā)的一種共振/松散耦合無線充電技術(shù)，透過加盟WPC，高通能貢獻(xiàn)其無線充電技術(shù) 專長，并將目光投向無線充電標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的融合。 此外高通強(qiáng)調(diào)，該公司做為A4WP創(chuàng)始成員與董事會成員的身分，并不影響其加入WPC的決策：“A4WP代表最成熟、最佳實(shí)現(xiàn)的共振充電技術(shù)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，高通相信WPC可利用到A4WP已經(jīng)完成的共振無線充電技術(shù)。” 高通并表示，該公司已經(jīng)自2013年3月起推出A4WP標(biāo)準(zhǔn)評估工具，并預(yù)期該公司采用A4WP標(biāo)準(zhǔn)無線充電技術(shù)的產(chǎn)品，將在2014年初開始出貨。 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載 編譯：Judith Cheng 參考英文原文：Qualcomm Explains Wireless Charging Move，by Peter Clarke

{pagination} Qualcomm Explains Wireless Charging Move Peter Clarke Qualcomm has said it has chosen to join the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), a rival organization to the Qualcomm-founded Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP), to encourage the broad adoption of resonant and loosely coupled wireless charging. The news that Qualcomm was backing two industry organizations emerged when WPC chairman Menno Treffers published a blog announcing that Qualcomm and Verizon Wireless had joined the organization (see Qualcomm Move Raises Wireless Charging Questions). Qualcomm's WiPower technology is in line with A4WP v1.0 which specifies magnetic resonance technology that is capable of simultaneous charging multiple devices and is flexible with regard to the positioning of devices on a charging platter. A4WP has the backing of co-founders Qualcomm and Samsung, Intel, which has done its own R&D on resonant magentic charging technology and more than 50 other companies. However, WPC is an older organization with more members and more mature standards. In a statement supplied to EE Times Qualcomm said: "Qualcomm aims to provide the opportunity to standardize around a single global implementation of resonant wireless power technology by working more closely with other industry innovators. The WPC has previously announced plans to move toward a resonant/loosely coupled wireless power similar to that being developed by Qualcomm WiPower and the A4WP. By joining the WPC, Qualcomm can bring its expertise in resonant wireless power to bear and to look toward harmonization across wireless power standards." Qualcomm added that its status as a founder and board member at A4WP was unaffected by its decision to join WPC. "A4WP represents the most mature and best implementation of resonant charging. It is Qualcomm's belief that the WPC can leverage the work in resonant wireless charging that has been completed by the A4WP." Qualcomm also said that it started shipping A4WP evaluation kits to companies in March 2013 and that it expects products incorporating A4WP-compliant wireless charging to begin shipping early in 2014.
