Judging by the number of
announcements the company makes
this time of year, Fulton Innovation
absolutely loves CES. And as to be
expected, the inductive charging
superstars are tackling CES 2012
head-on to show off the techniques
it's been working on for the past
year. At this year's show, Fulton
will demonstrate the ability to
wirelessly charge through a metal
surface, show off a car with interior
surfaces enabled with the Qi
inductive charging standard and
display the technology being used
inside a handbag. We're pretty
eager to see how it all works in real
life, so we'll bring you coverage as
the show progresses. Feel free to
gaze upon the press release below
in the meantime.

FULTON INNOVATION UNVEILS
THE NEXT GENERATION OF
WIRELESS POWER SOLUTIONS AT
CES 2012
Never-Before Seen Flexibility and
Freedom of Wireless Power
Charges Phone Inside a Handbag
and Brings Magazines to Life
LAS VEGAS – January 9, 2012 –
Fulton Innovation
(www.fultoninnovation. com), the
creator and exclusive licensor of
eCoupled™ intelligent wireless
power, is announcing technological
breakthroughs in wireless power,
showing demonstrations of multi-
range, multi-protocol, and multi-
surface applications at the
Consumer Electronics Show (CES)in
Las Vegas. Fulton Innovation, the
leader in wireless power, is taking
wireless technology to the next
level by increasing spatial freedom
with interoperability that enables a
device to be moved around both on
and above a surface while
maintaining efficient and continuous charge. The ability to
wirelessly charge through a metal
surface is another industry-first
that Fulton will be demonstrating at
CES.
The new development in spatial
freedom for wireless power
technology will be demonstrated by
charging a cell phone through a
handbag, without the need for
wires. Other demonstrations will
include devices within the general
area of a wireless power
transmitter than will still charge.
Fulton will show how the days of
having to place a phone on an exact
charging spot will soon be a thing of
the past.
Fulton has developed an advanced
wireless power solution that can be
built into almost any surface,
including packaging and
publications. At CES, Fulton will
demonstrate a recent issue of
Entertainment Weekly powered by
its eCoupled intelligent wireless
power technology. The magazine
will light up on the shelf using
wirelessly powered printed
electronics –a low-powered , low
cost, truly flexible example of
wireless power in action. The
prototype demonstrates how
wireless power can be used by
publishers and advertisers to
attract readers' attention, and drive
new revenue streams.
Fulton's booth at CES will include
the cockpit of a car that has its
interior surfaces enabled for
wireless power. Phones, tablets and
other devices can be placed on the
dashboard, in the glove
compartment, or in the center
console and charge without the
need to plug in a single cord. The
same capabilities are showcased in
a Tesla electric vehicle (EV) with
the car itself having the ability to
be charged wirelessly.
As a founding member of the
Wireless Power Consortium (WPC ),
Fulton provided the technology
behind the Consortium's Qi
standard for wireless power. The Qi
standard has made it possible for
the efficiency and flexibility of
wireless power to reach consumers
through multiple wirelessly
powered brand name devices
currently being sold through
Verizon Wireless. The devices are
fully interoperable between charging bases, regardless
of the brand. Each of these devices
will be on display at the Fulton
booth.
As the leader in wireless power and
a trusted partner in innovation,
Fulton offers the complete package
of wireless power solutions-from
infrastructure to products. For over
13 years, Fulton has been
advancing its technology and
working with partners to bring
wireless power into the hands of
consumers and manufactures. The
technology meets and exceeds
safety regulations and works with
standards bodies, such as the WPC,
so that manufacturers and
consumers can rest assured their
devices will work in the broad
wireless power ecosystem.
Fulton's technology can be adapted
for a range of power requirements,
from the very low power needs of
printed electronics to the very high
power needs of EV-charging. In
addition to charging, eCoupled can
be configured to directly power
everyday devices and appliances,
such as a wireless blender that will
be on display at the booth.
"We are excited to be back at CES
this year to unveil new advances in
wireless power, including spatial
freedom capabilities that provide
consumers the flexibility to move
devices around a charging surface.
The ability to charge through metal
surfaces opens the door for phone
manufacturers currently building
phones with metal backs to
incorporate wireless power
capabilities without compromising
design," said Dave Baarman,
Director of Advanced Technologies
for Fulton Innovation. "Our
continued development of eCoupled
and our work with our many
partners is broadening the
capabilities of wireless power and
proving that there are continuously
fewer limits to what we can do with
this technology."
Fulton Innovation will have many
more wireless power
demonstrations and applications on
the show floor, which is located at
CES booth #14446 in the Central Hall
of the Las Vegas Convention
Center.
