Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) has installed 50 charging stations at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). The charging stations are outfitted with four outlets per station, allowing several travelers to re-charge their personal electronic devices 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.
“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, in a statement. “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.”
