We’re still waiting for the Rezence standard to bring wireless charging to laptops, but Freescale is taking a big step towards making that a reality. It just announced a new wireless product that’s powerful enough to recharge tablets, portable medical devices, and other large gadgets. The 15-watt system, which should hit the market early next year, offers three times as much electrical power as Freescale’s phone charging solution.

Chip maker Freescale is introducing a 15-watt wireless charging system that will enable cordless recharging for larger devices such as tablets. The wireless charging operates at three times the wattage of wireless phone chargers. It should make wireless charging a lot more convenient and faster, and it signals that the day isn’t far away when we’ll be able to charge our laptops wirelessly. Besides tablets, you’ll be able to use it to charge large-screen smartphones, portable industrial equipment, and medical equipment without plugging them into a wired charger. Intel has promised that it will enable wireless charging in the not-so-distant future for laptops, but the 15-watt system from Freescale isn’t powerful enough to do that. The system is 15-watt Qi-compliant, and it works with a variety of standards such as the Wireless Power Consortium and the Power Matters Alliance. The system will enable faster charging of small devices by delivering higher power wirelessly.
