Wireless Phone Charging For The Outdoor Use

Outdoor Technologies leader Scanstrut became the first brand to take Qi wireless charging technology and develop it to deliver safe, efficient charging in any outdoor situation. With over 30 years’ of experience in enabling the use of technology outdoors, Scanstrut has built a world-class reputation for designing and engineering products for the marine industry, for use aboard boats in the most extreme environments and adverse weather conditions.

There are many challenging factors to consider when designing products for use outdoors; water, humidity, UV degradation, dust, salt, and extreme temperature fluctuations, all of which represent sub-optimal conditions for consumer electronics. “If a product can withstand prolonged usage on a boat, it will be at home in almost any other environment and almost any installation scenario”. George Bowles, Head of Design at Scanstrut.

With Qi wireless charging technology now being found in various locations around the home, office, workplace, and cars, Scanstrut set out to make this incredible technology available for use in outdoor civic areas, smart spaces, or even integration into outdoor furniture or existing outdoor charging infrastructures. Imagine always having wireless charge wherever you need it indoors or out. The Scanstrut design department set about bringing this dream to life.

Low voltage 12V or 24V input power, which is most common in outdoor and outdoor mobile applications, mainly for safety and power efficiencies.
Waterproofing encapsulation techniques, ensure moisture will never penetrate the charger and keep technology, phone, and user safe.
Tried and tested marine grade material selection, which can withstand the highest rating of UV and temperature fluctuation punishment over years of us
