Infinix Drives Innovation with AirCharge and Extreme-Temp Battery Advancements

                                                  

Infinix, a leader in innovative technology solutions, is proud to announce the upcoming launch of two cutting-edge technologies that will revolutionize the mobile industry. The AirCharge and Extreme-Temp Battery technologies, developed by Infinix, will be unveiled to the world at the highly anticipated ShowStoppers event during CES 2024.

 

Infinix AirCharge: Pushing the Boundaries of Over-the-Air Charging

Infinix's AirCharge technology is a breakthrough in wireless charging, it enables users to charge their smart devices without the need for cables or physically touching the charging pad. The technology allows charging at a distance of 0-20 centimeters^[1], and it even works when the transmitting coil and the receiving coil are tilted at an angle of up to 60 degrees^[2]. This remarkable capability is made possible by Infinix's innovative multi-coil magnetic resonance technology and adaptive algorithms.

Infinix's AirCharge is a revolutionary technology offering safe, wireless charging at distances up to 20 cm and angles up to 60 degrees

With user safety as a top priority, Infinix AirCharge operates at a safe low frequency below 6.78MHz, delivering reliable charging power of up to 7.5W. It is equipped with an end-to-end Resonance and Over Voltage Protection (OVP) Circuit that effectively safeguards the circuitry, ensuring charging safety even in scenarios where the distance and position between the phone and the charging pad rapidly change.

"What was once just a concept has now become a commercial reality. Infinix is committed to practicality and consumer safety as it pushes the boundaries of over-the-air charging technology. By focusing on multi-coil resonance technology and continuously making significant technological advancements, Infinix aims to revolutionize the way we charge our smart devices," said Liang Zhang, Deputy General Manager at Infinix. 

Compared to traditional wired charging, Infinix AirCharge provides unparalleled convenience and seamless integration with the environment. Users can effortlessly charge their devices during activities such as gaming and watching videos by simply installing the wireless charging pad underneath their desks.

 

Extreme-Temp Battery: Charges Even at -40°C

The Extreme-Temp Battery has the capability to function even in extreme temperatures

Infinix has partnered with industry-leading technology suppliers to address a common challenge faced by mobile phones in extremely cold environments. Regular batteries often experience lithium ion freezing, rendering them inactive and incapable of charging or discharging. In response, Infinix has developed the Extreme-Temp Battery, incorporating revolutionary biomimetic electrolyte and fusion solid-state technology on the electrodes.

This breakthrough enables the Extreme-Temp Battery to perform exceptionally well even at temperatures as low as -40°C. With a charging temperature range of 100°C(-40°C-60°C), the Extreme-Temp Battery ensures functionality and endurance even in the harshest cold environments.

 

Sneak Peek at CES 2024

Infinix has a long-standing commitment to user-centric innovation and has consistently pushed the boundaries of charging capabilities. From the 180W Thunder Charge Technology to the revolutionary 260W All-Round FastCharge, Infinix has continuously delivered an all-round fast charging experience tailored to various scenarios.

Infinix’s latest advancements, including the AirCharge and Extreme-Temp Battery technologies, will be showcased at ShowStoppers, the world’s most influential technology showcase for media, during the 2024 CES.

Finance professionals should take lead on public sector risk management in era of great challenges

                                                 

Top risks facing public sector organisations are financial challenges and an inability to meet changing demands and expectations of the public for services. A global survey of finance professionals and others working in the public sector showed a key part of the global economy wrestling with significant risks, while not always having the tools to cope.

 

The research, drawing on responses from those working in a range of roles across the public sector – finance, risk, audit and service delivery – found that, for their own organisations, they were worried about funding for public services and the ability to meet the evolving demands of delivering services, as well as finding the people with the right talent and skills.

 

In ACCA’s survey the following five risks were highlighted as the most significant risks facing respondents’ organisations (percentage figures represent the proportion of respondents identifying the risk as one of their ‘top three’) 

 

·         Financial challenges – 49%

·         Meeting changing demands and expectations for services – 35%

·         Talent and skills deficit – 35%

·         Poor organisational culture – 28%

·         Ineffective leadership – 26%.

In response to the challenges facing the public sector, ACCA’s new guide Calculated Risk makes the case for finance professionals taking a leading role in the risk management process. Despite the skills finance professionals possess, the survey showed that many public sector organisations are not making effective use of their capabilities in risk management. For example, only just over half of respondents (55%) who work in the finance function said they were regularly involved in identifying and reviewing relevant operational risks.

 

Mark Johnson, ACCA senior subject manager for the public sector, said: ‘Some public sector organisations are neglecting the valuable insight of staff working on the frontline. Identifying risk is a two-way process: organisations need to be made aware of any risks that are not already formally identified and those working in services are often in the best place to identify such risks. Using the knowledge and expertise of staff working in each part of an organisation to build up a profile of risk is critical for a comprehensive understanding of risk.’

 

In an era where the outlook for public finances is challenging the public sector needs to move away from business as usual if it is to successfully negotiate the significant risks it faces. The finance function is well-placed to recognise risks across the organisation and support leaders in addressing these risks. Ultimately resilience in organisation is built by developing skills and capabilities.  Public sector finance professionals who understand the threats and opportunities posed by risk can help build more resilient public services.

Editor’s Note

 

Findings are based on an April 2023 survey of 436 public sector professional in over 60 countries worldwide. Almost 9 in 10 were ACCA members or students working in finance, risk, audit policy and service delivery roles.
