If you’re feeling generous this holiday season, we recommend splurging for the Base Station Pro from NOMAD Goods. It’s a handsome leather wireless charger that can wirelessly recharge three devices simultaneously. But you’re probably wondering why the steep sticker price? It’s because this wireless charger is the only one that has full-surface charging so that you can place your de

Nothing says pandemic like 3 kids fighting over cell phone chargers, am I right? It seems that no matter how many chargers I buy, we are always short 2 and the battles that ensue are maddening. So, yes, in an effort to help all of our electronics stay fully-juiced, we will be getting one (maybe more) of these this Christmas. It’s a wireless charger that is sturdy, attractive and most importantly—impossible to lose. It can…

The big issue with wireless chargers is that your devices have to be placed at a very specific angle to work. Well, here’s the secret with the Nomad Base Station Pro: phones work on it any way you place them. And that’s all due to the multi-coil technology.

This is the game changer you have been waiting for. The Nomad Goods Base Station Pro features FreePower technology which means no more searching for that charging sweet spot. A matrix of 18 coils allows you to simultaneously charge up to three devices anywhere. The modern design, padded leather surface and slim profile make it a great fit to enhance any workspace.

The trouble with wireless chargers is you often need to place your phone in just the right spot to initiate the power flow. Nomad’s pad eliminates that pain. Eighteen charging coils inside the pad provide enough coverage to wirelessly rejuice imperfectly aligned phones. There’s room for three devices—charge two phones and a set of AirPods simultaneously.

Let’s be honest, Apple would prefer if people forgot all about AirPower. The company teased the wireless charger at the reveal of the iPhone X back in 2017, claiming it would offer a simplified charging experience for multiple Apple devices at once regardless of orientation – if the coil of the product made contact with the charger, it would get charged.

We respect Apple’s decision to create a better wireless charging solution for iPhone users with MagSafe. However, we feel their new approach runs counter to AirPower’s original purpose, and the direction in which we believe the industry should be moving. The future should not require small magnetic pucks to be integrated everywhere in order to charge individual devices: real progress means the freedom to charge multiple devices simultaneously across seamless surfaces. Charging needs to be…

The dream of having a single flat surface that’s capable of wirelessly charging any device you place on it without any fussing or lining it up is one that is finally within reach. Apple tried it with its announced — then canceled — AirPower wireless charging pad. 

Wireless charging startup Aira has acquired patents from rival Spansive as it seeks to do what Apple couldn’t with AirPower: Create wireless charging mats that allow you to place devices anywhere on their surface. Apple also seems to think Spansive was onto something, as it hired the company’s CTO back in July.

Strategic IP deal adds strength and breadth to Aira’s existing organic portfolio of 50+ patent assets covering industry-leading innovations in free-position wireless charging Aira Inc.​, developer of FreePower​®, a groundbreaking full-surface wireless charging platform, announces today that it has acquired the patent assets of wireless charging firm Spansive (formerly known as Pi, Inc.). This is the latest addition to Aira’s growing strategic patent portfolio, which now comprises more than 50 active patent assets in the…

Nomad’s new Base Station Pro is a wireless charging pad that costs $230. For Nomad’s new Base Station Pro is a wireless charging pad that costs $230. For most of you, that’s going to be the end of the review. Devices to charge your phone are meant to be inexpensive. A good wireless charging pad shouldn’t cost over $50, and a multi-device charger not much more than $100 if it’s got really nice build quality.

While there are many good wireless chargers on the market now, the underlying technology still has room for improvement. Multi-coil designs have reduced the need for precision placement, but there’s still a sweet spot you need to hit if you want your phone to charge up properly.
