Xiaomi has come up with “Me Air Charge Technology”. It is basically a wireless charging technology, which can charge a device within a few meters distance.

According to Xiaomi, all devices within a few meters can be charged at 5 watts at the same time. Xiaomi also said that the barrier within the radius will not affect the speed of charging.

This smart wireless charging technology from Xiaomi can be used to charge smartwatches, fitness bracelets etc. along with mobiles. With this technology, Shaomi’s main goal is to make the living room completely wireless. In other words, if the speakers, lamps, smart home devices can be charged by Mi Air Charge technology, the idea of ​​a wireless living room is going to come true. However, this year Xiaomi will not bring any commercial product powered by air charging technology.

The way Mi Air Charge technology works

The core technology of Shaomi’s remote charging is based on space positioning and energy transmission. The built-in 5 level face interface antenna in the isolated charging pile made by Shaomi can accurately detect the location of the smartphone.

A face control array consisting of 144 antennas transmits a wide millimeter wave directly to the phone via beamforming. Xiaomi has also developed a miniaturized antenna array for smartphones, with built-in “bacon antenna” and “receiving antenna array”.

Bacon antennas broadcast device location information using low power. The receiving antenna array, composed of 14 antennas, converts the millimeter wave signal generated from the charging pile into electrical energy. This futuristic charging technology from Shaomi will make the future of super charging real as shown in science fiction.

However, it is not necessary to say how effective the possibility of marketing this technology will be without a good test. Companies like Energas have been announcing “Truly Wireless Charging” in CES and various programs for several years, but the technology has yet to gain serious recognition. Xiaomi has shown unprecedented success in charging engineering in the past. If Xiaomi can demonstrate this technology in the real world, then there is the potential for Xiaomi to own a huge hardware ecosystem.
