INSTANT ACCESSMobile phone charging kiosks mean users can take full advantage of video and music downloads, while at the same time allowing service providers to plug into the new technologies – and they charge the phone at the same time, says Nazin Ali.
The mobile telecommunications industry is constantly changing from one day to another, along with the way we live our lives and the way we carry out our work.
Indeed, mobile communications is now included in virtually everything we do, no matter whether it’s work or pleasure. So it makes sense that as public demand for the latest mobile services increases future infrastructures must be considered to help accommodate and indeed support that demand.
Thankfully, our demands for better mobile technology is being catered for. Now everyone can not only use their mobile phones for work purposes, but also for leisure, such as listening to music or watching videos on the go – as well as the ability to use our phones to pay bills, navigate us around, and send emails on the go.
Moreover mobile technology also allows us to communicate with our own burglar alarm, which can then be uploaded to secured websites so police can use the video information as evidence.
Necessities
However, in order for mobile phone users to take advantage of all these services the one thing everyone needs is the most obvious: a fully charged battery .
This is the stumbling block. Because not everyone carries around chargers; and even if they did, where could they plug it in?
This is more relevant because of the new services offered to us via our phones and additional offerings that will be presented to us in the future. The more we use our mobile phones, the faster the battery level reduces; so on an average day we may tend to save our battery power by sticking to using our mobile phones for just making calls.
Thanks to new technology advances and designs in convenience mobile phone charging kiosks, we have the ability to recharge our phones more speedily. What’s more, the kiosks available today are designed in an attractive eye-pleasing way that actually encourages people to want to use them.
Not only do they offer safe and secure charging facilities in almost any location, such as bus terminals, airports and train stations, cinemas, museums and conference facilities: they also now allow video messages to be presented to those using the kiosk. This could be tourist information, or it could be targeted advertising – a useful tool for encouraging user to upgrade their phones or taking advantage of new services, such as movie downloads. The kiosk becomes a very useful communication and promotional tool.
