Wi-Charge Showcases AnyTable™, a Revolutionary Wire-free Charging Solution for Coffee Shops and Other Public Venues

Wi-Charge, provider of long-range wireless power technology that can charge a phone from across the room, is showcasing its new AnyTable™ wire-free charging station at Pepcom's Holiday Spectacular in San Francisco. The AnyTable charging station combines the popular magnetic induction ("Qi") charging technology with long-range wireless power by Wi-Charge to deliver phone charging at any table without regard to proximity to power outlets. Additionally, Wi-Charge announced a new partnership with Kube Systems, provider of customized charging solutions for commercial hospitality use, providing a new integrated charging product targeted at the hospitality industry.

Customers hope–indeed increasingly expect–to charge their mobile devices when visiting coffee shops and other public spaces. Newer phones, from all major manufacturers, support magnetic induction ("Qi") charging, allowing to top off these devices by placing them on a charging pad. But these charging pads are wired, and venues that install them find that they need to be near a power outlet. As a result, only a portion of tables can be made accessible to customers for charging. Customers leave disappointed or sip their drinks while hoping that a wired table becomes free.

"We've all been there, fighting battery anxiety by frantically looking for an available outlet," says Yuval Boger, Chief Marketing Officer at Wi-Charge. "Wi-Charge AnyTable provides a great solution for both customers as well as coffee shops and public spaces. Now that the new phones from Apple, Samsung and Google all support magnetic induction charging, the Wi-Charge solution allows charging these new phones, even away from a power outlet."
