- Product Description
- Green Plug, the first developer of digital technology enabling real-time collaboration between electronic devices and their power sources, will demonstrate its new electronics component chip – called the Green Plug Universal Power Protocol. Green Plug is the developer of green talk - a digital protocol for real-time communication between devices that require power and their power sources. This technology allows for the charging of multiple DC-powered devices with differing power requirements from a single power supply.
- Market Opportunity
- According to Gartner, 3.2 million external power supplies will be manufactured in 2008. Our estimates show that 479 million external power supplies will be thrown away in the U.S. in 2008. The power model of a 1-to-1 relationship between devices and their power supplies is broken.
- DEMO Says
- It’s the plague of the digital age...each and every electronic device comes with its own charger, turning us all into Sherpas of cords and cables. For want of a standard, we’re left in a tangle of electronics that have a short life before they’re tossed to the landfill. Green Plug is changing that with a smart, programmable processor that is the basis of a universal electronics charger. The device will make its way into a variety of implementations, any of which will bring convenience while reducing the overhead of our electronics-driven existence.
