Telecom Lead Asia: Panasonic will introduce a new series of
portable USB Mobile Power Supplies as auxiliary power sources for mobile
devices, such as smartphones and tablet PCs, on May 28, 2012, for the Japanese
market.
The highest-capacity model in the series, QE-QL301, can
provide enough power to fully charge a smartphone four times on a single
charge, twice the capacity of the company’s current model.
The QE-QL301 offers a minimum capacity of 10,260 mAh and
has two USB ports allowing it to charge two devices, such as a tablet PC and a
smartphone, simultaneously.
The new lineup also includes three contactless models
that can be charged wirelessly using Qi technology, a global standard for
wireless charging. As they can be also charged via USB port or AC outlet, they
offer flexibility in charging.
With the advancement of mobile devices, there has been a
growing concern over battery life among users. Given this situation, the market
for auxiliary power supplies is expanding, and there is a particular interest
in rechargeable power supplies, which are economical and cause less
environmental impact as they can be used repeatedly.
The new series of Panasonic USB Mobile Power Supplies
consists of eight models ranging from lightweight portable models to high
capacity models.
Recently, Panasonic introduced six new DECT 6.0 Plus telephones that offer an array of convenient
features for landline phone users.
These telephones feature a simplified keypad layout
with oversized buttons, large white backlit display, talking caller ID and
amplified handsets.
The company recorded consolidated net sales of 8.69
trillion yen (US$105 billion) for the year ended March 31, 2011.
