A chance for Qi2 device manufacturers to validate according to the latest 25W standard using flexible, upgradeable units with a low total cost of ownership.
Granite River Labs (“GRL”), a global leader in test and certification services and automated test solutions for digital connectivity and charging technologies, and professional market access services, successfully completed its Qi2 Plugfest and technical seminar tour across Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Hong Kong, highlighting the power and flexibility of its 25W wireless charging test solutions.
The event saw GRL demonstrating its upgraded Qi2 test platforms, including the GRL-C3-MP-TPR (Transmitter Tester), GRL-C3-TPT (Receiver Tester), and the GRL-WP-TPR-C3 (Qi wireless charging transmitter tester for BPP and EPP). These platforms now support validation up to 25W in accordance with the latest Qi2 standard. Designed with modular architecture and upgradeable firmware, the testers provide manufacturers with a cost-effective solution for maintaining compliance with evolving wireless charging requirements.
Attendees noted the intuitive design and ease of integration of the test systems, which streamline both development and validation workflows. The solutions were developed to support a wide range of test environments, including R&D and production lines, and to accommodate future updates to the Qi2 specification without requiring major hardware changes.
Naresh Botsa, GRL R&D Senior Technical Support Manager and a speaker at the seminar series, commented: “Our goal is to support the wireless charging ecosystem with test platforms that are both forward-compatible and easy to operate. With the introduction of the 25W power profile, the Qi2 standard has the potential to significantly enhance user experience. GRL’s test solutions are designed to help developers adopt this standard efficiently and with confidence.”
The 25W power profile represents a significant expansion of the Qi2 specification, offering reduced charge times while meeting safety and thermal efficiency benchmarks. As adoption of the standard progresses, test solutions that are scalable and standards-aligned will play a key role in ensuring market readiness and regulatory compliance.
