The name Nanoport magnetic connector alone gives us an idea that this is one cool concept. Anything with the word “nano” and “magnetic” could be something great and this new project from Nano Magnetics is no different.
The Nanoport’s patent is still pending but we know this technology is going to be big. It’s still in the works but a working model is expected to be showcased at the CES 2015 as the company promised during the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year. The team showed off a mock-up back in January and promised to be back with a real, working product next year.
The working model should be ready and complete next month. We hope to see the magnetic connections that keep the devices together—those connections that also allow data transfer seamlessly.
The idea of Nano Magnetics is to bring different gadgets together and connect them to create a one, big device. Smartphone, speakers, cameras, and battery packs with Nano Magnetics’ magnets can be connected together to build what they call Nanoport-enabled devices.
This Nanoport can transfer power and data securely and quickly between several devices when connected. No need for cables or a special software to finish the transfer. Just connect the magnetic devices and the Nanoport will do what it needs to do.
Nanoport reminds me of the Project Ara but the guys at Nano Magnetics are set to reveal the magnetic system very soon. A developer kit is expected to be released soon for app developers and hardware manufacturers. We’ll see if Nano Magnetics will be able to keep its promise. CES 2015 is a few weeks from now so we’ll see.
