The Finnish company Nokia joined the organization of Wireless Power Consortium, which develops standards for the wireless charger. This should significantly accelerate the development and implementation of Qi wireless charging.

Wireless Power Consortium Organization was established late last year. It includes such well-known manufacturersas ConvenientPower, Duracell, Hosiden, Leggett & Platt, National Semiconductor, Olympus, Philips, Samsung, Sanyo, Shenzhen Sangfei Consumer Communications, ST-Ericsson and Texas Instruments. Their aim is to create a wireless Qi charger, which can charge mobile phones and portable media players, and later larger devices: laptops, MID, Tablet PCs.
The director of the research and development division of Nokia, Markku Verkama, said: “Wireless Technology charge carries a considerable potential. Users expect ease of use and more compatible mobile devices. Joining Wireless Power Consortium, the Nokia Company will continue to support open standards, designed to meet the expectations of consumers. Wireless Power Consortium is the first serious attempt by the leading manufacturers to agree on wireless technology charging.
