EVA III

Wireless power evaluation tools for the kitchen

Developed by nok9, sole provider of compliance and reference tools for QI (BPP & EPP)

___________

Focused on performance testing of wireless power designs for kitchen appliances

___________

Easy to use, with two separate modules for transmitter and receiver emulation

___________

Designed to test the full specification of the Cordless Kitchen developed by the WPC

___________

Cost-effective system for wireless power product design and interoperability testing

MEET THE EVA III

EVA III is the first comprehensive set of evaluation and compliance tools designed for performance testing and evaluation of wireless power devices within the emerging Cordless Kitchen specification from the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).

The EVA III system includes two primary units: the Base Station Tester (BST), with separate load boxes to test a transmitter, and the Mobile Device Tester (MDT) to test a receiver. In addition to this core configuration, the system connects to a host computer via a USB connection, and it features a dynamic user interface that provides adjustable settings and parameters to fit individual product development and evaluation needs.
