213 Qualcomm today announced that it has acquired substantially all of the technology and other assets of HaloIPT, a provider of wireless charging technology for electric road vehicles. All members of the HaloIPT team have joined Qualcomm's European Innovation Development group based in the UK.

"Qualcomm has been investing in wireless power for a number of years and the HaloIPT acquisition will further strengthen our technology and patent portfolio," said Andrew Gilbert, executive vice president of European Innovation Development for Qualcomm. "Building on 20 years of development and innovation in wireless power at The University of Auckland and its commercialisation company Auckland UniServices, the HaloIPT team, in a relatively short period of the time, had established itself as a leading developer in wireless electric road vehicle charging - with HaloIPT winning industry acclamation and awards."

In addition to the HaloIPT transaction, Qualcomm and Auckland UniServices, the commercialisation company of the University of Auckland, have committed to a long-term research and development arrangement to promote continued innovation in the field of wireless charging for electric road vehicles by way of inductive power transfer.
