Samsung launches charging hubs at two US airports

Samsung on Wednesday announced the launch of charging stations for mobile devices in terminals at LaGuardia and Orlando International Airports. The Samsung Mobile Charging Stations allow travelers to plug in their phones, laptops and other electronic gadgets without any associated fees. The company's latest move expands on similar charging stations already in use at the Los Angeles, JFK and Dallas / Forth Worth International airports.

LaGuardia's Terminal C features 12 charging stations spread out between gates A and D, with four outlets in each of the 8.5-foot tall poles. Orlando International hosts 18 such stations on Level Two in Airsides terminals one through four.

The stations will recharge any 120V device, and feature shelves to hold portable electronics. At JFK International, Samsung has 54 charging stations, with 51 doing duty in Los Angeles, and eight operating at Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport.
