WPT Bootcamp

As our society and economy continue to digitize rapidly, the number of wireless nodes in every square kilometer has become staggering. Experts predict that there could be as many as 10^7 devices in a single square kilometer, which poses a significant environmental and economic challenge to sustainability. However, there is hope in the form of wireless power technologies (WPT). These technologies offer a promising way to deliver power wirelessly to the nodes, eliminating the need for batteries. This not only reduces the ecological impact of batteries and the use of raw materials but also results in more cost-effective solutions since battery replacements are no longer necessary. By harnessing the power of WPT, we can work towards a more sustainable and efficient future.
The upcoming WPT boot camp will focus on introducing wireless power transfer for wireless devices, which will aid in further advancing the digitalization of society and the economy. The boot camp will cover two different WPT technologies: one that operates in the near-field, already in use for wireless charging with its latest addition, near-field communication (NFC) charging, and the other technology is far-field wireless power transfer, which is gradually entering the market. Both technologies rely on different means of power transfer. The boot camp will provide details on both technologies, with experts from academia teaching the basics and principle design methodologies, while industry experts will offer insight into the different business cases and standards.
The WPT boot camp is designed for engineers who want to learn the fundamentals of WPT or are interested in using it for their applications, marketing and sales professionals who want to understand the basics of WPT technologies, and university students who wish to acquire basic knowledge of WPT. The course offers plenty of chances for audience participation and interaction.
