The one stop where a dead phone actually stops your day

Why it works for airports & transit hubs

• The highest sustained foot traffic of any venue type — people wait here for hours, not minutes
• A dead battery before boarding is a real problem, not a minor inconvenience — the amenity sells itself
• The same waiting audience advertisers already pay to reach

The problem here

A traveller with a dying phone is a traveller who cannot show a boarding pass, reach whoever is collecting them, or call anyone when a flight moves. The sockets that exist are already taken, usually by somebody sitting on the floor beside a pillar. It is the one venue type where the charging problem becomes an operational problem for the terminal itself — queries at information desks, people camped in circulation space, and complaints that have nothing to do with the airline.

Where the station goes

After security, where the wait is longest and nobody can leave. Departure gates and the seating around them are the highest-use position; a second at arrivals covers the passenger who lands on 2% and needs a ride. The property that makes this work is the network return — someone can borrow at the gate, land in another city and return it there, so the unit is not a thing they must give back before boarding.

What this takes from you

What it takes from the operator is a location and a commercial framework for us to fit into — not the other way round. The hardware, its maintenance and its restocking are ours. How the charging is paid for is agreed within whatever your concession structure allows, and it can differ by terminal or by zone. Tell us the constraints and we will work inside them.

What managers ask

Can travellers take a power bank onto a flight?

Yes — the units are certified CE, FCC and CB and are carried in hand luggage, which is the standard requirement for a lithium power bank. They cannot go in checked baggage, the same rule that applies to any power bank a passenger already owns.

What stops units leaving the country and never coming back?

Commercially, nothing needs to: borrowing requires a saved card, and a unit kept past the rental window is charged as a non-return under the terms the traveller accepted. The loss is priced in and it is ours, not the terminal's. Operationally, most units come back — the return can be at any station in the network, which is a lower bar than returning to the gate you left from.

Does it need integration with our systems?

No. The station runs on our own connectivity and needs a standard socket and nothing else — no network drop, no integration with terminal systems, no data sharing in either direction. From your side it is a piece of furniture that we service.
