MANCHESTER-BASED POWRPOD TAKES CHARGE


M


anchester ad tech business, Branded Media, has developed a brainy new


solution to one of modern life’s biggest problems: ‘low battery anxiety’. PowrPod charging stations have been


delivered to over 30 colleges and universities throughout the UK, keeping students connected. Pods are also in place at Manchester United. The University of Reading, where PowrPods are sponsored by Coca-Cola Freestyle, have proved a huge success with sponsored brands and students. PowrPods can be stationed in a variety of public spaces such as restaurants, visitor centres, airport lounges, salons, gyms, shops, stadiums, colleges, and cinemas. These stations work in conjunction with the PowrApp app, which is


designed to help the hospitality industry get back on its feet. The app directs consumers to their nearest local PowrPod charging station and promotes vendor special offers.


In this way, PowrPod charging stations


deliver safe increased footfall and additional revenue streams, which are key to the survival of businesses in a Covid-19 world. Lauren Jade Adams, Founder of PowrPod, said that: “Everyone is


suffering now due to the dire economic consequences of the global pandemic. Our charging solutions provide an essential service for people on the go and helps increase footfall into businesses in a safe and controlled manner and generates a much-needed new revenue stream for the vendor.” Each PowrPod is a custom-made, high-tech table that is supplied with a


range of comfortable seating, super-fast Qi wireless charging pads and charging cables, a touch-free hand sanitiser dispenser and an 18.5” LED digital advertising screen.

Sony expands laser projector line up with two new compact and high image quality models


S


ony has launched the industry’s most compact laser projectors in their class, the VPL-PHZ60 (6,000lm) and VPL-PHZ50 (5,000lm), that combine


exceptional image quality with flexibility and reliability. The two compact models are ideal for a wide range of corporate,


education and entertainment applications due to their weight and size with the VPL-PHZ60 being the smallest[1] WUXGA 3LCD laser projector in its class. Optimised for use in small to medium-sized conference rooms and classrooms, as well as museums and public entertainment spaces thanks to its wide lens shift function and intelligent setting mode. The projectors offer incomparable image quality, driven by Sony’s original


“Reality Creation” technology, which provides enhanced clarity, authenticity and expression in images and text, without increasing digital picture noise. The VPL-PHZ60 and VPL-PHZ50 were designed with flexibility and ease of


use in mind. Due to their compact size at less than four inches high and lightweight structure weighing approximately 7KG, the projectors can easily adapt to different mounting and installation challenges and requirements, and their blend-in design can fit into various environments.
