GSM Phones Will Use Standardized Micro-USB Chargers by 2012
Many
mobile phones currently in the marketplace use the mini-USB
5 wire connector. This connector and the micro-USB connector
have the capability to recharge mobile phones while transferring
data at the same time when using a USB port on a computer.
The newer phones released in the cellphone/smartphone market
are using the flatter micro-USB connector. The micro-USB
connector is a ultra-slim design. The mini-USB and the micro-USB
both will slow charge at a rate of 500mA through a powered
USB computer port or network hub. This charging rate is
faster through the use of an AC adapter. The new UCS standard
has a target date of January, 2012. The micro-USB charger
will be compatible with future mobile phones USB 3.0 micro-USB
receptacle.
Listed
are companies who have joined this standard initiative:
They include AT&T, KTF, LG, mobilkom austria, Motorola,
Nokia, Orange, Qualcomm, Italia, Telefonica, Telenor, Telstra,
T-Mobile, Vodafone, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Telecom.
The
GSM Association (GSMA) has launched a major initiative to
standardize power chargers on GSM phones. The GSM has a
UCS (Universal Charging Solution) standard they promote.
The GSMA feel mobile phones should have a standard common
format for mobile phone charger connections. This standard
also has a energy reduction consumption for charging.
This
standard reduces the disposal of old phone chargers. If
the mobile phone industry does have a standard for phone
chargers means when you purchase a new phone it will no
longer come with a new charge.
The
GSMA is comprised of more than 750 mobile network operators
and over 200 other companies.
