从平均郊区的房屋到装配线，“智能”技术正在增强我们生活的每个角落。但是，虽然事情互联网（物联网）技术似乎是我们所在的目标，但保持这些设备的供电仍然是一个挑战，除非解决，除非解决了，最终可能会阻止许多最激动人心的潜在的物联网使用案例成为现实。
With more than30.7 billion IoT devicesset to flood the market by 2020 – almost double the 15.4 billion IoT devices recorded in 2015, and less than half of the 75.4 billion projected for 2025 – powering all of this technology using the alkaline batteries and wired chargers common today will simply be untenable. It seems inevitable then that IoT devices which communicate wirelessly will become most effective by being powered wirelessly. The question is, when will such charging-at-a-distance solutions be available? The answer is not as far away as you may think…
Dialog isworking closely with our partners at Energous帮我把DA4100.RF传输IC今年的大众市场。一个完整的片上系统，DA4100.enables highly integrated, smaller, cost-effectiveWATTUP®.wireless power transmitter systems. Such a solution may prove to be the key to unlocking the full potential of IoT as it can deliver enough power over-the-air to sustain a whole range of devices from a range of millimeters to meters.
The home of tomorrow shouldn’t be characterized by cords
例如，在家庭中，定期需要电池或电缆的设备数量超过三位数。这包括可支持安全系统或甚至安全警报的传感器，用于火灾或一氧化碳 - 技术只能拯救生命，并确保安全性不断供电。如果消费者真的将在未来五年内接受在家中的IOT设备数量几乎加倍，如果他们没有看到电源条带来每个墙面插座的动力线，他们只能这样做。
这是您浏览房屋经济学的特别关键因素美国人今天是大量的租借rather than owning, which places limitations on how much say they have in modernizing their residence. For individuals who want to incorporateIoT thermostatsanddoorbellsto lower their utility costs and improve security, for instance, wireless charging empowers these individuals to use the latest technology without hacking into the wiring of their rented space.
行业4.0will only be realized with wireless power management
在工业空间中可能更大的影响，因为在工作流程中扮演一部分的单个传感器的电力损失可以关闭整个工厂。虽然工业级传感器今天成本平均约50美元，但接线保持供电的供电量超过1000美元。这些有线传感器通常不具有备用电源，使其甚至是由于它们使用蓝牙低能量交互而设计为无线的传感器仍然依赖于潜在错误的电线保持活跃。
Wireless power in this setting would help Industry 4.0 really take hold, along with helping businesses streamline their power management infrastructure costs. Wireless charging can introduce redundancy, as multiple wireless power transmitters can be placed in the range of each sensor, ensuring that should one fail, another transmitter can step in as backup.
Wireless charging将不可避免地需要具有相同的无处不经，安全性和范围，以表征现代WiFi能力。Energous已经在美国建立了近距离无线充电（近场）的监管批准，立即使如可穿戴物品，可听见的等物品设备，听力等。它们现在正在进行中期的现场批准，增长发射器之间的距离和IoT接收器到多个脚，从而使得能够从远程无线充电中受益。雷竞技安卓下载最终，我们将看到推出的全室内充电，支持高达5米的AT-A-距离充电（远场）。我们努力通过与能量的合作伙伴关系努力不断推动无线充电能力的基准。
