SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated
Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI) announced today
that its latest wireless charging chipset is used in SITAEL's MAT
(Magnetic Assisted Tap), a novel smartphone docking station that
turns e-bikes into fully connected vehicles and which was recently
named a CES 2018 Innovation Award Honoree in the Vehicle
Intelligence and Self-Driving Technology category.
MAT provides e-bikes with unique connected vehicle features when
used with a smartphone, thanks to SITAEL's dedicated app for both
Android and iOS devices. These features include a dashboard display
that shows speed, distances, etc.; a navigator, real-time vehicle
control and monitoring, a GPS/GPRS-based anti-theft system and
smartphone wireless charging, an important feature of MAT.
"We congratulate SITAEL on the ability of its award-winning MAT
technology to turn e-bikes into intelligent, connected vehicles
packed with compelling capabilities and features," said
Laurence McGarry, Marketing Director
of IDT's Wireless Power Division. "SITAEL's decision to use our
latest, high efficiency wireless power chipset in MAT is a
tremendous recognition of its excellent performance. The increased
demand for connected devices capable of operating in tough
environmental conditions is driving the requirement for wireless
power in these devices to ensure water resistance and
robustness."
"SITAEL's MAT technology defines a revolution in cycling based
on a single gesture – the e-bike comes to life by placing the
smartphone on the MAT surface," said Matteo Pertosa, Head of
Industrial and IoT division. "We selected IDT's wireless power
chipset for MAT as wireless power is key to enabling easy placement
of the smartphone – no wire connections – and enhances water
resistance, essential in any outdoor environment."
Thanks to its proprietary magnetic technology and wireless power
interface, MAT enables connectivity, control and security of the
e-bike. IP-65 water resistant, MAT has been tested to both extreme
temperatures (-20C to 85C) and vertical shocks of up to 70g-force
(gravitational acceleration) with a certified shaker instrument,
which confirmed its suitability to most extreme off-road rides.
