[Jericho, NY—November 5, 2015] — With wearables such as the Apple Watch becoming the new must-have mobile technology for travelers, hotels need to “gear up” so that guests can “charge up” these devices. Next week at HX: The Hotel Experience, Kube Systems will showcase an innovative accessory for guestrooms and public spaces that enables Apple Watch wearing travelers to charge their devices and leave Magsafe charging cables at home. The new KS Arm™ with built‐in Magsafe charger will be available to hotels equipped with the KS Clock™ (in-room) and KS Portable™ (public spaces) charging systems. The KS Arm™ will be on display in the Kube Systems Booth #2327 during the HX event, to be held Nov. 8 to 10 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York.
“Some of today’s biggest hotel companies are touting adoption of smartwatch technologies to enable their guests to more interact more easily with their branded app and also use the device for other convenient, high-touch applications, such as unlocking their room doors, paying for meals, or even checking in and out,” said Kube Systems Vice President David Weinstein. “As wearables become more mainstream to enhance the hotel experience, guests will soon begin demanding the ability to charge these devices just as they have come to expect charging for smartphones and tablets. Kube Systems is proactively exceeding guest expectations by enabling hoteliers to solve a need before it becomes a demand.”
Using wired and wireless technologies, Kube Systems’ delivers the charging power guests need no matter where they are located on premises. The KS Arm™ easily attaches to the back of all KS charging units. The KS Portable™ comes equipped with an Apple® Lightning, Apple® 30-pin, and Micro-USB flip-out cable, two additional USB ports and Qi wireless charging; the KS Clock™ mirrors these charging features, however Qi wireless charging is optional. As global charging standards change, the hardware is fully upgradable, making the Kube both future proof and investment proof.
The KS Clock™ is an innovative power solution that features an intuitive alarm clock, Bluetooth streaming and the ability to charge up to six mobile devices. Set up can be facilitated using Kube Systems’ Room Programmer launched via an Android App and comes equipped with replaceable and upgradeable modular cables that keep the KS Clock™ from becoming obsolete. The KS Portable™ is a standalone charging Kube without clock or audio functionality. It is ideal for any hotel space where outlets are in short supply – the lobby, restaurant, bar or event space corridors.
Win an Apple Watch at HX
“We are eager to showcase the KS Arm™ at HX next week to not only gauge interest and generate excitement over our cool Kubes, but also to see how many hoteliers will be charging their Apple Watches in our booth,” Weinstein said. “We are even giving away an Apple Watch as part of our HX promotion. Attendees who take a “selfie” with a Kube, Tweet their location @kubesystems and mention #HX2015 will be entered into a drawing to win the wearable device. Selfies can be taken with a Kube in our booth or at one of four Manhattan hotels – the New York Marriott Marquis, New York East Side Marriott, New York Downtown Marriott or the New York Brooklyn Bridge Marriott. There is no limit to the number of times an attendee can enter to win; multiple Tweets are encouraged to give each user multiple chances to win.
