-> Sunpartner Unveils Wysips® Reflect: The Future of Smartwatches  

In the fast-growing market for smartwatches, aesthetics and longer battery life are crucial. Sunpartner’s invisible solar solutions solve both those issues: Wysips® modules are totally design neutral and extend smartwatch battery life by 30% to 50%.

To respond to market demands, the company has extended its range of products enabling mobile devices, connected objects, and accessories to go anywhere by harnessing free inexhaustible energy from the sun.

After Wysips® Crystal for emissive screens and Wysips® Graphics for textured surfaces, this year at MWC Sunpartner will unveil Wysips® Reflect: an ultra-thin, invisible photovoltaic component that can be embedded in all types of reflective screens (LCDs in smart watches, electronic shelf tags...). Wysips® Reflect also works with objects without a screen: analog watches (on the watch dial or the crystal), rear phone casings, wearable tech and more.

A new solar smartwatch will be unveiled at MWC 2016 and a partnership will be announced.

-> Watch Videos Streamed over Light Waves!  

At Sunpartner’ stand at MWC 2016, come experience LiFi and watch streaming videos over light! LiFi (Light Fidelity) is a wireless technology that transmits data over visible light waves. Sunpartner’ R&D has been working to increase the bandwidth speed of its LiFi receiver so users can watch streaming videos. Since Wysips® technology is a photovoltaic material, it can also act as a photodetector and receive data in the LiFi chain. Several manufacturers are interested in this new tech so they can enhance user experience.
