Arconas is launching two new airport furniture solutions, the inPower hub and Place wireless charging tablet.
The company has seamlessly integrated wireless charging technology into the tablet arm of its Place seating series, allowing users to conveniently and safely charge their compatible phones. The unit complies with the latest version 1.2 Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) standard, also known as Qi, a widely popular industry standard used by major smartphone companies including Apple, Samsung, LG, Sony, Google, and Blackberry.
An icon with the words ‘wireless charging’ identifies the available technology, inviting passengers to easily charge their mobile phones from the comfort of their seat.
Meanwhile, the inPower hub is a sleek wall-mounted counter system designed with an integrated inPower flex 3 module for passengers to charge their personal electronics.
The inPower hub takes advantage of unused wall space to create a calming respite area, with ample room for short-term multi-taskers to pause, work, eat, take a phone call, and recharge. The counter system, along with an optional noise dampening panel, offers an area for visual and acoustic privacy.
“The inPower hub was created to bring additional counter space and power solutions to unused walls and corridors,” says Lynn Gordon, Vice President of Airport Solutions, Arconas. “It creates a quiet oasis where passengers can relax, charge, work, or take a phone call at ease.”
The inPower hub was designed by Fig40, a leading Canadian industrial design studio, and can be mounted at three different heights: wheelchair, standing, and seated. Mounted below the counter is an inPower flex 3 module that includes two AC receptacles and two USB-C ports. Multiple inPower hubs can be mounted side by side and the power modules can be connected through a single power outlet to maximise power options for passengers without incurring additional coring costs.
Arconas is exhibiting at this year’s ACI EUROPE/World General Assembly, Congress & Exhibition, and at ACI-NA in Nashville, where visitors can learn more.
