Goodbye to cell batteries? Zero-Power, new OPPO technology
Zero-Power is the name that will receive a new technology developed and promoted by OPPO. The Chinese-born cyber and telecommunications giant is already hard at work on the details.
It is an innovation that promises to take a step further to the autonomy implemented in smart devices. In short, traditional cell batteries are expected to be completely removed.
Background and background of Zero-Power
The "Zero Energy" (by its name in Spanish) is the major concept structured by OPPO. The company headquartered in Dongguan, China, announced on January 20 of this year the preliminaries of its future project.
Zero-Power was born with the duty of definitively curbing the logistics problems associated with battery production. According to OPPO's criteria, there are more and more drawbacks with raw materials, transport chains, useful life and performance.
Although these components have been adapted to modern technology, there is still a long way to go. It seems that the rise of fast charging, better autonomy and durability are not enough for the user's experience and consumption.
Given this diatribe, the Zero-Power protocol seeks to promote an alternative way to energetically sustain the mobile devices of the future. The one in which a cell battery is not required as the cornerstone of the energy processes of the product.
What does "Zero Energy" or Zero-Power technology propose?
OPPO issued a basic guide with the main aspects of the technology in question. In each one of them a specific route is exposed to be able to specify the final objective.
The devices that are manufactured as a result of this programming will get their energy in an unthinking way. Basically, they will pick up radio frequency waves that are present in the environment.
It is normal to ask what is the origin of these waves, the answer being simpler than it seems. The energy in particular will be collected from other exogenous signals such as Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth and including telephone services in telecommunications.
Within the technological guide, radio and television antennas and telephone stations are also contemplated. The striking part is that you will not only benefit energetically from these frequency waves, but you will be able to modulate and re-transmit them to the outside.
OPPO stated that it has already set to work with international partners to fully comply with its outlined plan. A strategy that will influence the technical positioning of Zero-Power in the near future. The idea of cell phones without traditional batteries will be a tangible horizon.
Long-term advantages of OPPO's novel technology
The Chinese technological multinational is an expert in the consumption and distribution of cybernetic devices. At the same time, they are widely involved in the progress of telecommunications in general. Therefore, they are up-to-date with extensive and sustained research.
It is for this reason that Zero-Power technology offers great enthusiasm for the scientific community. If consolidated, it describes a series of long-term advantages that will not only change the landscape of networks, but also of the creation of smartphones.
Optimized devices
The main advantage is devices optimized to the promulgated premise. They will have a smaller design size for better handling and comfort for the user.
Fortunately, small dimensions to those currently manipulated translate into equipment with low prices. By reducing the number of implements to manufacture new phones, then an economic factor is activated to the benefit of the customer.
Logistics with lower costs
The forging of cell phone batteries requires a logistics chain with costs that fluctuate depending on demand. Current devices are in dire need of materials that enhance their autonomy and shield their performance.
With Zero-Power technology, dealing with the fringes of that procedure will no longer be a hassle. It will be a resounding farewell to limits due to raw material, transport damage and other counterproductive factors.
From autonomy to almost infinite durability
Charging batteries is already possible through other wireless accessories. That same idea will be used in the Zero-Power project, but leaving aside the aforementioned battery.
The maximum levels of autonomy will be nothing compared to the almost infinite durability of the new phones. By capturing and harvesting your base energy from radio frequency waves, you will have access to a "treasure" that will increase your performance completely.
No more cables and chargers
With the goodbye to the batteries, the subsequent will be the final point to the creation of chargers and their accessories. Indeed, it is another key aspect that will continue to reduce industrial expenses for the sake of 100% economic final terminals.
Minimizes the negative ecological impact
In general terms, Zero-Power technology will be coined within the term "eco-friendly". It will cushion the damage caused to the environment secondary to contamination rooted in manufacturing processes.
By not having batteries to produce for a product as in demand as smartphones, the positive environmental impact will be unprecedented. One more step to counteract the dangers lurking in the greenhouse effect and climate change.
When will it be available?
The goal set by OPPO is for the Zero-Power system to be approved by important partners internationally. In the guide headed by the company, it is emphasized that, for now, it is a utopia with a high probability of being fulfilled.
Within 3 to 5 years, according to OPPO's criteria, the first devices based on the system will be on the market. At the moment, he is ready to promote the original idea and concept to the masses to seed a futuristic idea.
In that time frame, they will work to finalize convenient details and add smarter technologies. Additionally, they will not neglect the ecological perspective to reap great successes on several fronts.
