mobile phones Charging at Los Angeles airport

Los Angeles World Airports has launched charging stations in all terminals at Los Angeles Airport (LAX), allowing travelers the convenience of free electrical re-charging of their mobile phones, laptop computer,ipad and other personal electronics.

"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, Los Angeles International."

Fifty-one 8-1/2-foot-tall, pole-like charging stations have been installed throughout the boarding areas in Terminals 1 through 8 and the Tom Bradley International Terminal. The Samsung Mobile Charging Stations have four outlets per station, allowing multiple travelers to re-charge their electronic devices. They are designed to re-charge personal electronics designed for U.S. voltage (i.e., 120 volts). The electrical re-charging stations are designed with a small shelf to hold electronic equipment.
"If you look around a crowded plane now, you see more passengers with laptops and other personal electronic devices than a decade ago," said Pete Skarzynski, Samsung Mobile senior vice president. "To celebrate Samsung's 10th anniversary, we are sponsoring the Samsung Mobile Charging Stations for travelers' use at LAX free of charge."

"As the number of personal electronic equipment has exploded during the past few years, both business and leisure travelers have requested more electrical outlets in our boarding gate areas to recharge equipment while awaiting their flight departures," said Patricia Tubert, LAWA Deputy Executive Director of Real Estate and Economic Development.
"This new service is part of our continued commitment to implementing customer service initiatives to meet travelers' needs."

Samsung Telecommunications America is sponsoring the new service as part of the airport's in-terminal advertising program. LAWA is providing the electricity for the charging stations. "JCDecaux designed and produced the concept of the Samsung Mobile Charging Stations which will provide a unique service to over 60 million travelers annually at LAX, as well as valuable brand exposure for Samsung.
