The Fujitsu

Cords suck. They filter, they lose, they are never long enough and you never have the kind you need. Indeed, wireless monitors are nothing new - but when you hear "wireless display", you usually think they have managed to cut the video cable alone. Well, Fujitsu has taken a step further here at CeBIT this week, casting and what it claims to be the first all-wireless office - no video, no power. The images are processed by USB wireless and can connect to a properly equipped PC, while the juice is drawn to a standard proposed for the newly merged wireless power called Supa (developed by people like Fraunhofer) that can run on large areas - in this case, an entire desktop.

For now it's just a screen, but you can imagine such as mobile phones, laptops, tablet and anything else that requires a continuous flow or fast, low cost could benefit from this agreement and does not need special mat (which is, of course, wire) around. Fujitsu says that SUPA able to produce about 25 watts in its current incarnation, which has no intention of keeping the PC game in progress - but it will certainly do with a typical handheld computer (or in this case, a 22-inch monitor) .

The demo we saw was a little glitch, the first time we visited the booth was Fujitsu has difficulty obtaining WUSB connection to light, but it was in place for the second time we dropped by. We felt that there was not enough bandwidth to stream video smoothly at this color depth and resolution, but it was good enough for the tasks of data entry. Similarly, the screen seems to flicker occasionally, suggesting that it was either right on the edge of the maximum 25W or simply experiencing hiccups typical prototype. On some occasions, lifted the screen to reset it and it took only 2-3 inches of lift before power was lost - if this is not the kind of thing where you can get up and walk around with a camera, and hopes that the magic continues to load (it would be terribly afraid of being turned into beef jerky at these energy levels, anyway).

Ultimately, we are excited about this technology, assuming SUPA can gain critical mass in the market. They expect the first commercial applications of next year ... Until then, enjoy our photos and videos while you plan how to rearrange your work area when you do not have to worry about power cords.
