The Ministry of Science and ICT and TTA planned the ‘4G We introduced domestic wireless power transmission technologies and companies that can be used for various innovative services in the 19G industry.
The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), which participated in the exhibition, is an international standards development organization comprised of over 300 member companies from around the world, ranging from large consumer electronics brands such as Samsung, Apple, Huawei, LG, and Microsoft to small startup companies. A variety of companies are participating.
WPC is responsible for certification of product interoperability and standard conformity, including standard development. Since establishing the industry standard for mobile wireless charging in 2008, the WPC has been working to provide safe, interoperable and efficient wireless power transmission technology. .
The wireless charging field currently managed and developed by WPC includes Qi and Qi2, wireless charging technologies for mobile devices, Ki, a wireless power supply technology for kitchen appliances, and LEV (Light Electric Vehicles), a wireless charging technology applicable to micro-mobility such as electric scooters and electric bicycles. ) There are three.
In particular, Ki, the kitchen appliance wireless power transmission technology standard introduced at this exhibition, is scheduled to release test certification in the summer of 2024, but in order to raise awareness of the Ki standard by previewing technology that has not yet been released on the market, prototype product exhibitions and A demo demonstration was conducted.
Officials explained that Korea, with its residential environment centered on apartments, is a good environment for the spread of wireless power transmission methods such as Ki. In order to use Ki standard technology, the power transmitter must be installed in the space under the induction or dining table, and the product used You must be able to communicate with this power transmitter. Therefore, products with Ki standard technology must be used. The moment the product is moved from where the power supply is installed, not only is the power cut off immediately, but it is also safe because no heat remains on the table.
Meanwhile, the ‘World IT Show’, a one-stop platform for digital transformation, is a representative exhibition leading the next-generation high-tech industry. The 2023 World IT Show, with the slogan ‘Changing our life, K-Digital’, will feature ▲AI platform, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud, and ICT convergence services ▲Smart home, office, and home appliances. and smart healthcare ▲Intelligent mobility and robots such as autonomous driving, UAM, drones, etc. ▲Digital Twin & Metaverse (XR technology) ▲Cloud and software ▲Security software & Blockchain (NFT) ▲The latest technologies and products in the field of quantum information science Exhibited and introduced. In addition, the ‘WIS 2023 Innovation Award’ and the ‘2023 Korea ImpaCT-ech Grand Prize’ were awarded to the technologies and products that attracted the most attention among participating companies.
