NEW YORKMarch 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — goCharge (www.gochargenetworks.com), a leading provider of Cell Phone Charging Stations that that can be found across the country at conferences, professional sporting events, restaurants / bars and music festivals, today announced the introduction of a new line of Wireless Charging furniture. The units are available immediately for rent and purchase.

While wireless charging has been a feature of select Android phones for several years, Apple introduced the iPhone 8 and X, bringing the capabilities mainstream. Apple also announced that all future iPhones will integrate Qi wireless charging—the global standard for wireless charging technology as designated by the Wireless Power Consortium. This change in technology is set to shift consumer behavior related to smart phones, batteries, and charging standards.

goCharge’s wireless charging furniture will be primarily offered in top-of-the-line Quartz or Corian, with Formica and Wood also available. The furniture includes Coffee and End Tables, Conference Tables and Hi-Top Tables. All of the furniture will continue to provide USB ports and/or charging cords for standard charging, upon request.    

This announcement highlights the company’s continued innovation around mobile device charging. A recent survey found that 35% of phones die at least once a day, while more than 1 in 4 said it happens more than once a day.

“We’re constantly looking for ways to improve our technology and keep up with change in the mobile device market,” stated David Walke, CEO at goCharge. “We’re at the beginning of an industry shift to wireless charging and we’re very excited to be the first industry participant to actively integrate and offer a diversified line of Wireless Charging Tables and other furniture. We expect to see our units expand from live events and the entertainment space to also include retail locations.”

“As a leader in mobile device charging stations, with the highest quality and most diversified line of charging solutions, Wireless Charging Tables are a natural and important extension of our business,” Mr. Walke continued. 

goCharge recently launched Canvass, a proprietary data collection platform that offers a new and different mobile engagement platform through incentives such as surveys, App downloads, Video/Advertisement Push, Sweepstakes, and Customer Loyalty Programs. Canvass will also be available with goCharge Wireless Solutions.

The mobile industry is quickly beginning to force the deployment of wireless charging stations. Apple recently acquired New Zealand’s PowerbyProxi, a maker of large-scale and industrial wireless charging products. Others such as Google Project Fi, Comcast Xfinity Mobile, Charter wireless and Siyata Mobile will further push consumer adoption.
