(http://www.brightboxcharge.com), the leading platform provider of secure mobile device recharging solutions, is pleased to announce the roll out of its Mark3 charging stations at British Airways’ Galleries Lounge in Terminal 7 at JFK Airport in New York.

Brightbox, a New York based B2B kiosk technology company, is the global leader in developing and deploying secure charging locker stations for on-the-go people to stay connected via their mobile devices, including cell phones, phablets, backup chargers and batteries. The Brightbox® Mark3 mobile charging platform is the most innovative, secure mobile device charging solution available in today’s marketplace and was recently selected as the "Best Digital Signage Kiosk Application" by rAVe [Publications], the leading expert magazine in audio visual reviews, at Digital Signage Expo 2015.
Placement of the British Airways branded Brightbox® Mark3 charging stations throughout the state-of-the-art Galleries Lounge in JFK’s Terminal 7 is providing British Airways’ First and Club World customers, as well as Gold and Silver Executive Club members, with a secure charging amenity that lets them continue to communicate, navigate, search, shop, share, snack, dine, pay, play, and relax before or between their flights, resting assured that their phones are being safely and optimally charged in a station that delivers both physical security and data privacy.
Brightbox provides mobile freedom, enabling travelers to live life charged and connected. It facilitates trust in public place amenity charging solutions, and provides a great lifestyle product and experience that is a rich opportunity for engagement between connected people, spaces and brands. Smart phone users simply swipe a credit/debit or complimentary card to open an available station chamber, plug in their mobile device or accessory to one of three industry standard charging cords, close the chamber and return later to swipe the same card to retrieve their charged phone.
The ability to safely charge via Brightbox improves the overall customer experience, helping to competitively differentiate an airline and its offerings. It simplifies life for harried business travelers and anyone en route, enabling them to stay connected to work, family, friends, and social apps, knowing they can securely charge their phones at the airport terminal before or after their flight. Brightbox charging is instrumental in satisfying customers who might otherwise lose that important connection with work, family and friends during the course of their trip. Passengers appreciate the stylish looks, the seamless user experience and the unrivalled security and sophistication of the Brightbox platform, which is increasingly favored by the airline industry to help improve consumer experience and boost frequent flier satisfaction.
