by Ann Withanee — July 25, 2011—NV3 Technologies (NV3) announces the availability and deployment of the third-generation NTC series Charging Kiosks in both desktop and floor models that are ideally suited for myriad high-traffic locations such as convention centers, restaurants, hotels, theme parks, banks, universities, hospitals, airports and shopping malls.
“The NTC series is a technological innovation that addresses skyrocketing consumer demand for increased battery life in cellphones, smartphones and tablets,” said Ryan Doak, managing partner for NV3 Technologies. “Our units provide up to 800 milliamps—compared to 500—for a more powerful flow of electric current with which to rapidly charge Blackberries, iPhones, iPads, Droids, Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sanyo, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and other widely used devices.”
NV3’s charging technology utilizes an intelligent monitoring algorithm, which ensures that the requested recharge is directed to the appropriate device. Also, states NV3, it is important that NV3’s charging kiosks will not impact a business’s energy consumption to cause any increase in its electric bill.
NV3 points out that as mobile Internet computing increases in popularity, consumers will have an even greater need for extended battery life as well as a convenient option to charge their device in public venues. Sites and locations that offer this value-added convenience are also able to deliver target advertising and marketing messages to a captive audience through the kiosks’ interactive displays, touchscreens, and customized branding.
Another significant point for the NTC series kiosks is that they operate NV3’s easy-to-use, plug-and-play interactive media player and digital signage software. Remote, secure accessibility empowers companies with the flexibility and ease for managing dynamic content in real-time.
NTC Floor Model Kiosks, which can charge up to 12 devices simultaneously, stand 73 inches high and are 30 inches wide. The base unit comes with a 19-inch HD LCD screen on top and a 32-inch HD LCD screen on the bottom. Media content is powered by an internal flash drive media player for the top and bottom screens to display media content. Available options include touch screen, remote media management, credit card and bill acceptors, and custom branding.
The NTC 1912, NV3’s Desktop Charging Kiosk, can also charge up to 12 devices simultaneously. It has a 19-inch wide LCD screen with optional touchscreen.
