Embedded magnet technology presents new ways to combine and interact with devices and electronics without cables

Vaughan, ON, Canada, January 7, 2014  — Nano Magnetics Ltd (Nano) announces NanoportTM, a new magnetic connector that allows devices to be magnetically attached to each other in various configurations. Enabled devices can be combined into a single larger device, letting users tile screens to create impromptu folding tablets, stack extensions like batteries, speakers or cameras, or even used to assemble combinations of custom gadgetry.

The Nanoport’s magnetic features can hold and align devices to each other allowing data and power transfer like USB, but without the need of cables. In use, Nanoport is fast, secure and convenient. This makes it possible to use a mobile device as a secure authenticator and graphical interface for enabled appliances, vehicles and more.

“The Nanoport is the culmination of our last three years of magnet constructor R&D. It effectively turns electronics into building blocks that can be combined to create new devices, then later collapsed for transport,” said Tim Szeto, CEO and Founder. “Nanoport gives hardware and software developers new methods of device engagement. Traditional connectivity technology allows software to work together. Now hardware can enjoy closer integration too.”

Nanoport Enabled Devices Benefits:

  •   Modular plug and play hardware (batteries, displays, speakers, controllers, other devices, etc.)
  •   Peer-to-peer device tiling and modularity between devices (multi-display interfaces for gaming, collaboration, media)
  • Secure, high speed data transfer
  •  Power transfer
  •  Wireless convenience
  • Supplemented interfaces (for electronics, appliances and vehicles)
