When you read the word "connectivity," what's the first thing that comes to your mind? Perhaps you're thinking of wires, ones which plug into one kind of port or another. Certainly, wires have a place in ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of connections with today's technology.

But enjoying the benefits of the latest and greatest in electronics is also possible even without external wiring. This is because of the invention of wireless protocols, such as Bluetooth wireless technology. Bluetooth is the reason why you can connect your phone to any number of speakers, headphones, or other mobile accessories. It may look like something simple and unchanging, but in truth, it's more complex than you think.

Fast Facts about Bluetooth Connectivity:

• Bluetooth was first established as a wireless technology standard more than two decades ago
• It’s currently being managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), which is comprised of tens of thousands of member companies working under many different industries
• Bluetooth works with various kinds of electronic devices, from personal computers to smartphones, gaming consoles, and certain types of wireless audio devices
• Some of the latest versions of Bluetooth include version 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 – all of which are supported by SKA Technologies and its products. It’s now up to version 5.
• The latest version of Bluetooth is Bluetooth 5, which offers features for the still-nascent Internet-of-Things (IoT) category like improved low-energy performance and faster speeds

By design, Bluetooth is meant to improve the standard user experience when it comes to using typical electronic devices and mobile accessories. This is true especially for all the most recent forms of the wireless connection standard, start with Bluetooth 4.0 onwards. It serves many benefits, such as:

1. Replaces Tangle-prone Cables and Wires-- You'll no longer need to rely on problematic and troublesome cables to connect one or more of your devices.

Qi Wireless Charging

Wireless power has been the dream for modern electronics ever since it first emerged as a science fiction concept. Now, it's available as a feature on certain mainstream gadgets, and it will only get more ubiquitous as time goes on. If you want to make the most of it, here are a few things that you absolutely need to know.

Fast Facts about Wireless Charging:

• Currently known as Qi -- pronounced CHEE-- wireless charging, based on the Chinese word "qi" which means "energy flow"
• Created as an open interface standard by the Wireless Power Consortium, which is composed of various member companies from the tech industry
• Available in either "low power" or "high power" specifications, which deliver power below 5 W and up to 1 kW depending on what's being charged
• Uses a system that's based on electromagnetic induction between planar coils, which are typically 5 mm apart but can be as far apart as 40 mm or more
• Offers great convenience for charging but comes with the disadvantage of being less efficient than wired charging solutions

Main Benefits of Qi Wireless

In the real world, using a wireless charger over a wired one is all about enjoying the freedom from troublesome and tangle-prone cables or wiring. And as of today, you have a number of different wireless charging options to choose from.

First, there are wireless charging pads or charging stations, which you can use simply by placing them down on a flat surface and then laying down your Qi-enabled devices, be they smartphones or tablets, on top of them. The SKA 4-IN-1 Mag-Wireless Charging Station, which can wirelessly charge an iPhone , Apple Watch and Airpods at the same time, falls under this category.

Next, there are also wireless charging stands, which function by propping your devices up so you can charge them in an upright position wirelessly. Like charging stations, these sometimes offer space for more than one compatible device. But mainly they are single-purpose solutions like the AuraDock-2, AuraDock-3, and AuraDock-4.

Next There are also Qi wireless chargers available for use in your car. One example is the SKA Mag-Wireless Car Charger Mount, which was designed specifically to be used as a wireless charging docking car mount.

Finally, there are wireless charging power banks, which work just like regular power banks except for their ability to recharge compatible devices wirelessly. These include the SKA Re-Fuel Mag-Wireless 10000 Power Bank, Magnetic Wireless Power Bank PC3010 and 3-IN-1 Travel Charger Mag Power Bank providing backup battery power whenever needed.

Qi Wireless Future

Wireless charging and wireless power in general may still be far from perfect, but at least they are already useful in normal everyday situations. From easily charging without wires in your car, on your office desk, or even your bedside table, they add an extra level of convenience that can't be denied. Give them a try to experience life without pesky wires.
