Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) today announced the installation of 50 charging stations at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). The charging stations have been installed throughout Terminals A, B and C.
“Samsung Mobile Charging Stations are designed to give travelers an easy way to keep their phones, laptops and other gadgets charged while on-the-go,” said Bill Ogle, Chief Marketing Officer of Samsung Mobile. “With the summer travel season in full-swing, we expect the charging stations to be a big a hit at one of nation’s busiest airports, Newark Liberty International.”
The charging stations are outfitted with four outlets per station, allowing several travelers to re-charge their electronic devices at the same time for free. The stations are built to charge personal electronics designed for U.S. voltage (i.e., 120 volts), and are also equipped with a small shelf to hold travelers’ mobile phones and other electronic equipment. Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) of New Jersey will provide electricity for all 50 charging stations at Newark Liberty International.
“Following the successful implementation of the Samsung Mobile Charging Stations in five major US airports, including John F. Kennedy International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, LaGuardia International Airport, Orlando International Airport, and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, JCDecaux is very pleased to announce another alliance with Samsung Mobile to implement this program at Newark Liberty International Airport. Samsung Mobile has the unique opportunity to reach and engage with 222 million passengers annually,” said Jean-Luc Decaux, Co-CEO of JCDecaux NA.
Samsung Mobile has installed charging stations at some of the nation’s largest airports, including 54 stations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), 51 stations at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), 12 stations at LaGuardia Airport (LGA), 18 stations at Orlando International Airport (MCO) and 22 stations at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), along with eight Samsung Mobile Travel Centers at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
