Sportable continues to push the boundaries of sports technology innovation by integrating Powermat wireless charging technology into its Smart Ball systems. The collaboration between Sportable and Powermat is aimed at enhancing the usability of the Smart Ball technology, that is currently being used to provide real-time tracking data for teams and leagues in sports like Rugby, AFL, Football and Soccer.

One of the biggest challenges for any tech-based sporting equipment is maintaining power without interrupting play or sacrificing usability, whilst integrating as best as possible within the routine and workflow of equipment managers and data analyst teams. For this reason, Sportable's Smart Ball, which contains advanced sensors to track movement, spin rates, and ball speed, requires a intuitive and reliable battery charging solution to ensure its tracking systems can be part of every game and training session.

With Powermat's wireless charging technology, the Smart Balls are now equipped with a seamless, efficient power source, eliminating the need for traditional charging methods. This not only streamlines operations but also ensures that the Smart Balls are always ready for action, improving reliability reducing downtime.

Teams can charge balls easily on wireless stands, ensuring uninterrupted tracking that allows for more consistent data gathering while eliminating logistical barriers associated with managing battery life across large-scale competitions using up to 32 balls per games. This ensures that Sportable can maintain the highest levels of accuracy and performance throughout the game or practice, giving players, coaches, and officials instant access to crucial Smart Ball data.

Powermat technologies introduces a different approach to wireless power transfer, systems designed to overcome industries limitations of autonomous applications, industrial electronics and variety of consumer applications by implementing a single-phase wireless power systems utilizing an advanced software algorithms on standard of the shelf semiconductors and eliminating the need of using power cables. Sportable took this technology one step further by embedding their sensor device with wireless power capabilities driving Smart Ball innovation one step further, Sportable using a state of the art wireless charging stand (Transmitter), ensuring seamless and efficient charging for the system battery embedded in its Smart Ball system sensors. Wireless power technology allowed Sportable Smart Balls system to eliminate the need for ports or wires, preserving the integrity of the equipment both from a look and feel perspective and a flight dynamics angle while keeping it powered for continuous performance tracking.

For Sportable, this collaboration reinforces its commitment to providing technology solutions that enhance the sporting experience, while for Powermat, this marks a step into the sports technology sector, showcasing the versatility of its wireless power innovations beyond consumer electronics and into high-performance environments.

The inclusion and use of wireless charging ensures that technology doesn’t just enhance the game — it becomes an invisible yet essential part of it for athletes, teams, leagues and fans.
