UltraProlink Boost 45 MP 45W GaN charger with AVS, PD 3.1 and PPS support launched - FoneArena.com

UltraProlink has launched the Boost 45 MP, a 45W GaN III charger supporting multiple fast-charging protocols including Apple's AVS, Samsung's SFC 2.0, and Android's PPS. The device features dual USB-C... Read original →

UltraProlink’s multi-protocol GaN III charger reflects a tactical response to fragmented fast-charging ecosystems. Technically, it pressures upstream foundries to refine GaN-on-Si yields below 650V and accelerates USB-IF’s push for PD 3.1 standardization. Compliance-wise, BIS certification signals rising barriers in India, compounding EU common charger mandates—forcing redesigns that inflate BOM costs. Competitively, Anker and Belkin may expedite cross-licensing to neutralize compatibility advantages of smaller players. Over the next 18 months, the race will shift from wattage to protocol density; if GaN can’t hit sub-$3 BOM by 2027, advanced silicon or SiC could reclaim ground in mid-power segments.
