GoCharge Launches Commercial Qi Wireless Charging Furniture for Rent or Purchase

Wireless charging furniture company goCharge introduced a line of commercial Qi-based wireless charging furniture for rent or purchase, it said Wednesday. The company supplies cellphone charging stations for conference venues, sporting events, restaurants and music festivals. Apple’s inclusion of Qi wireless charging receivers in the latest generation of iPhones will help change consumer attitudes about mobile device charging, said CEO David Walke, citing the beginning of an “industry shift to wireless charging.” The goCharge furniture also includes USB ports and charging cords for standard charging on request, said the company. GoCharge recently launched the Canvass data collection platform that incentivizes consumers to participate through surveys, app downloads, ads, sweepstakes and customer loyalty programs.
