WIRELESS POWER CONSORTIUM Transferring the Qi spec to

WIRELESS POWER CONSORTIUM Transferring the Qi spec to IEC TC 100 AGS meeting 15 May 2012

WIRELESS POWER CONSORTIUM The Wireless Power Consortium • WPC is an industry consortium making voluntary interface specifications. 15 May 2012 – 109 companies are a member of the WPC – More than 60 products have been certified compliant with the Qi interface specification. • The WPC is not a standards development organization – We don’t make standards, only specifications 2

WIRELESS POWER CONSORTIUM What we are looking for • The WPC is investigating the possibility to transfer it’s Qi specification to a standards development organization (SDO). – The specification is getting mature – Products that use the specifications are widely available 15 May 2012 • We prefer a fast procedure but we are not looking for pure ‘rubber stamping’. – IEC’s standardization process improves the quality of the specification and adds value. – The IEC would be free to split up the specification, change terminology, and make any change deemed necessary to improve the specifications. • We are looking for the intention to maintain backwards compatibility with products that use the Qi specifications. 3

WIRELESS POWER CONSORTIUM Discussion • Is the IEC interested? • Is TC 100 the right forum? 15 May 2012 • What is the procedure? 4
