JASPER, In (January 2010) – First previewing eCoupled™ Wireless Technology
this past summer in Chicago, National Office Furniture showcased this power
innovation again, at the 2010 CES tradeshow, integrated into its Reno® Lounge
chair. In partnership with Fulton Innovation, creator and licensor of eCoupled
Technology, National displayed the convenience, efficiency and attractiveness of
incorporating the intelligent wireless power into office furniture.
“Today’s on the go lifestyle and work style appeals to innovations that keep
things simple. Combining eCoupled technology with National’s quality products
provides progressive, smart solutions that fulfill the needs and wants of the
mobile, wireless marketplace and the ever increasing demand for sustainable
solutions,” says Kourtney Smith, Senior Director of Marketing and Product,
National Office Furniture, “National’s goal is to deliver progressive innovative
solutions to meet emerging marketplace needs, so we’re delighted to integrate
this advanced technology in our products.”
eCoupled intelligent wireless power charges and communicates with cell
phones, laptops, tools, appliances and other enabled devices through safe and
efficient induction without requiring direct contact between device and power
source; therefore, eliminating the need for cords and adapters.
Fulton Innovation created and is driving development of eCoupled wireless
power technology by commercializing the technology in partnering with the
Wireless Power Consortium and a growing list of leading manufacturers in a wide
range of industries.
