Competitive wireless charging solutions have been approved by the FCC, especially with power-packed ‘watts systems, many work only at smaller distances. For example, QC chargers require physical interaction, and Watches’ small and medium system works up to 3 feet from the distance of 10 centimeters. A long distance solution, with a “fur field” watts, which works across the room, is in the works.

Wi-Charge is promising to use infrared transmitters to deliver power at 10-meter distances.
