Products currently on the market have been built around magnetic induction charging techniques, which require that a mobile device be in contact with a charging device, such as a charging pad, points out Kimball Office.

Jolt resonant charging allows for the charger to be concealed, enabling multiple devices to be charged from one unit, at longer distances from the transmitter, and thereby improving aesthetics by reducing clutter, and making cable management easier. The company says it is a true “furniture integrated” solution that enhances the user experience.
