Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile )announced
charging stations in terminals at LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Orlando
International Airport (MCO). T
The Samsung Mobile Charging Stations offer
travelers the convenience of free re-charging of their mobile phones,
laptops and other personal electronics.
Samsung Mobile Charging Stations have four outlets per station, allowing
several travelers to re-charge their electronic devices at the same
time. The charging stations are designed to re-charge personal
electronics designed for U.S. voltage (i.e., 120 volts). The charging
stations are also equipped with a small shelf to hold travelers'
mobile phones and other electronic equipment.
Samsung has installed charging stations at some of the nation's
largest airports, including 54 stations at John F. Kennedy International
Airport (JFK) and 51 stations at Los Angeles International Airport
(LAX), along with eight Samsung Mobile Travel Centers at Dallas/Fort
Worth International Airport (DFW).
"The Samsung Mobile Charging Stations are an
easy way to reduce some of the stress that can come with traveling for
business travelers and vacationers alike,"
said Bill Ogle, Chief Marketing Officer of Samsung Mobile. "The
charging stations are easy to find and simple to use. We expect them to
be as big a hit with travelers passing through these major cities as
they have been in JFK, LAX and DFW airports."
At LaGuardia, 12 8-1/2-foot-tall, pole-like charging stations have been
installed inside the boarding areas in the Central Terminal Building
(Terminal C) at Gates A-D. Orlando International Airport will offer
travelers access to 18 charging stations located on Level Two in four
satellite terminals (Airsides' 1-4).
"At Orlando International Airport we continue
to look for ways to meet the diverse needs of our passengers. The
complimentary charging stations are an expected customer service amenity
for today's travelers with personal
electronics," said Renee Spann, Director of
Concessions, for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.
Con Edison is providing the electricity for the charging stations at
LaGuardia, and the Orlando Utilities Commission will provide electricity
to the charging stations at Orlando International Airport.
