# Truly Wireless Charging Solutions The 'Pi' Transmits Power without the Need for Mats By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-09-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charging-solutions References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/new-pi-wireless-charging-doesnt-need-a-charging-pad-19-09-2017/) & [picharging](https://www.picharging.com/) Many technology users recognize that wireless charging solutions on the market today are still somewhat wired given the need to place their devices on a mat, which is something the 'Pi' is here to change. The 'Pi' works by implementing a wireless power hub that transmits power to devices that are nearby to provide full power charging to up to four devices at a time. More devices can be used with the 'Pi' as required but this lowers the speed at which they will receive power. Wireless charging solutions will likely be a mainstay aspect of technology design in the near future, which is being acknowledged by new products like the 'Pi.' The 'Pi' system is set to retail for under $200 when it formally launches and follows the existing FCC safety guidelines. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Truly Wireless Charging:** The 'Pi' uses a wireless power hub to transmit power to devices up to 4 at a time. - **Multi-device Charging:** The 'Pi' can charge multiple devices at the same time, making it a convenient solution for households and offices. - **Affordable Wireless Charging:** The 'Pi' is set to retail for under $200, making it an accessible option for consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** The 'Pi' is a new innovative product within the consumer electronics industry that provides a convenient charging solution. - **Smart Home:** As more smart home devices become available, wireless charging solutions like the 'Pi' can simplify device charging and usage. - **Office Equipment and Supplies:** The 'Pi' can provide an efficient and convenient way for employees to charge their devices, leading to greater productivity in the workplace. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wireless Charging Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-powers.md) - [Future-Facing Charging Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charger-concepts.md) - [Wireless Peripheral-Charging Mousepads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powermat-pro-duo.md) - [Angular Wireless Charging Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charging-platform.md) - [Origami-Style Charger Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicharge-folding-wireless-charger.md) - [Rolling Technology Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freestyle-wireless-charger.md) - [Modular Wireless Charging Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-wireless-charging-system.md) - [Desk-Compatible Wireless Charger Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-charger.md) - [Wireless Power Infrastructure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-power1.md)
