Cube-Shaped Remote Control Using Qi Wireless Charging to Debut at CES

4MOD Technology will demonstrate at CES its Cube remote control that uses Integrated Device Technology’s Qi-based magnetic induction transmitter and receiver solutions, the companies said Tuesday. Wireless charging is key to the design of the remote control, which charges wirelessly when placed on its matching base. The Cube incorporates the IDT P9038 single-chip WPC 1.1 5V wireless power transmitter in the base unit and the IDT P9025B single-chip wireless power receiver in the remote control, IDT said. 4MOD’s remote control enables users to control the functions of an entertainment system -- including TV, video, music and radio -- with gestures, the company said.
