Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America has announced yesterday an in-vehicle wireless charging technology with two variants. These two variants are able to provide efficient in-vehicle charging. In America, people have an average of ten connected devices per household and they need many of those devices during travelling on short or long trips.
So, it’s very important to have a fast charging option in a vehicle. The most needed thing in the vehicle is navigating, customer utilizing apps, and music. For maximum vehicles, the charging system remains wired. Now, this wireless charging system offers you the most efficient and accurate way to charge.
Highlights of Panasonic’s wireless charging technology:
Exclusive Detection Technology:
The wireless charging functions by moving into the optimum position to align perfectly with the charging coil of mobile devices and it starts to charge wirelessly. This moving coil of Panasonic is more accurate than the other wireless charging system.
Power Delivery:
Having a charging power of 15W, Panasonic has come with one of the fastest wireless charging technology in the industry, which keeps them far ahead of the wired/tethered systems.
Features:
Smart Alignment: The moving coil will take a perfect position for charging.
Perfect Detection: This technology helps to align more accurately with the device.
Charging Performance: With 15W, this is the highest rate of any wireless charging system in the industry.
Wi-Fi/ BT Connection: While charging the device, you can make or receive a phone call with ease.
Thermal Management: Comparing with the other systems, it has a better thermal trajectory range across an extensive period of charging time.
This advanced charging technology features itself as an efficient and convenient technology that provides wireless charging inside a vehicle. For more information on Panasonic Automotive solutions, visit https://na.panasonic.com/us/automotive-solutions
Mercedes-Benz presented MBUX Hyperscreen at CES 2021 yesterday. MBUX generation is an intelligent new feature such as “Mercedes Travel Knowledge”.
A few days back Mercedes-Benz revealed MBUX in Digital World Premier. Yesterday at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) it celebrated its trade-show debut.
With 141 centimetres widescreen, consisting of three apparently seamlessly merged displays is the largest human-machine interface built by Mercedes-Benz to date. It is also the most intelligent – aesthetically impressive, radically easy to operate, and downright eager to learn.
This will evaluate map data. It will also provide a lot more information about interesting landmarks along the route, from individual buildings or points of interest to entire cities. If the driver or passenger ask a question as they drive past – for example, “Hey Mercedes, what can you tell me about this building?” or “Hey Mercedes, what is the name of the restaurant on the left?”- it will reply the information in the display screen and as well as spoken by the voice assistant.
Sajjad Khan, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz AG and CTO said, “The new MBUX Hyperscreen combines unique electrical aesthetics with outstanding user-friendliness. A decisive strength is the clever networking of all systems based on intelligent, adaptive software. This makes the Hyperscreen the brain of the car; it’s connected to and communicates with all components of the vehicle.”
“When developing the MBUX Hyperscreen, the focus was clearly on the customer.”
“The goal was a concept without distracting the driver or complicated operation, but one that is capable of learning thanks to artificial intelligence. The result speaks for itself: the MBUX Hyperscreen understands the customer better and better and thus delivers customized, personalized infotainment and operating offers before the user has to click on anything. This is customer orientation and digital thinking in 2021.”- he added.

TCL has announced an 8-inch hybrid tablet, named NXTPAPER, which the company calls an “artistic combination of screen and paper.” We’ve called it hybrid as it looks like a cross between a tablet and an e-reader. The company had teased about the technology with its IFA 2020 announcements. As an e-reader, it features a full-color display without backlighting to reduce power consumption for comfortable viewing and reading experience, especially in a dark room.
This device offers an 8.88-inch (1440 x 1080 pixels) screen that uses a reflective design to “reuse” natural light. So, there will be no flickering or blue light that can strain your eyes. As per its power-efficiency, the company claims that this device is 65 percent more power-efficient than a traditional tablet screen. Additionally, this device runs on the Android 10 OS and includes support for Google Assistant.
Coming to ts camera section, this tablet offers an 8MP rear-facing sensor and a 5MP front-facing camera setup. To provide you with a full day of usage, this TCL NXTPAPER is fueled up by a 5,500mAH battery. In terms of connectivity, it offers both Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity and a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack as well. Additionally, you will get a reading lamp accessory inside the box. Regarding the dimension, this device measures a thickness of 7.4mm and weighs around 316 grams.
As per its pricing and availability, the shipping of TCL NXTPAPER will start from April 2021 at a price tag of €349 and this product will first make its appearance in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia.
TP Link’s first Wi-Fi 6E routers will come this year. This is a huge upgrade to Wi-Fi that quadruples the available airwaves for faster speeds and more reliable connections. TP-Link will launch four new routes this year. Those are Deco X96, Deco X76 Plus, Archer AX96, and Archer AX206.
Deco X96 and Deco X76 Plus, both are tri-band systems with a mesh system. Both will use the new 6GHz network as a backhaul to communicate between router notes.
via tp-link
But there is one back draw. When you buy phones, laptops, and other devices that support 6GHz Wi-Fi connections, the systems will connect in 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks since the 6GHz network is being used by the routers themselves. The X96 promises to provide a 7800 Mbps speed. Whereas, the X76 will have 5400Mbps with a built-in Zigbee radio to support smart home gadgets.
If you want to connect the devices over 6GHz Wi-Fi then TP-Link has the solution for that too. For that, they are going to launch Archer AX96 and Archer AX206. These two are also tri-band routers but not with mesh systems.
Though the prices of all the routers are yet to be announced. This is expected to be launched in July or later this year.
