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.
