The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) was founded in 2008. Since this date, it has been at the forefront of both promoting and developing the technology to enable phone charging without leads.The WPC established a specification for this technology 2009. This is crucial, as it unites various manufacturers under a common standard. This unit was named Qi, after the Chinese word for spiritual energy flow.  There is a competing wireless standard under the PMA and AirFuel Alliance. Similar to the competing DVD and BlueRay standards, Qi is the most widely accepted.

To establish the Qi standard, the WPC has 120 + Industry partners, including Microsoft, Google and Sony. As a major player among these, Samsung have pre-wired all their Galaxy S3, S4, S5 (not Mini) and Note 2, Note 3 and Note 4 phones to accept this method of charging.
