Cool Project Review:
Powering Travelers at JFK Terminal 4 with the PowerPod Post

JFK Airport’s Terminal 4, a hub for millions of travelers each year, needed a practical, portable solution to keep passengers connected and powered as they waited for their flights. Visiontron partnered with JFK T4 to design and manufacture a new product, the PowerPod Post—a sleek and cost-effective charging station that met their unique requirements.
The Challenge
The team at JFK Terminal 4 faced three primary challenges:
- A Reliable Partner: They wanted to work with a trusted partner who had a proven record of success delivering quality products. Visiontron’s long-standing relationship with JFK T4 made us the natural choice.
- Non-Disruptive Installation: JFK needed a portable solution that could plug into existing AC outlets without requiring any major renovations, construction work, or new wiring.
- Budget Constraints: The solution needed to be cost-effective while maintaining the durability and reliability expected for a high-traffic airport environment.
The Solution
Visiontron developed the PowerPod Post, a robust charging station designed specifically for JFK T4’s needs:
- Powerful Charging Capability: Each post offers 8 AC outlets, 4 USB-A ports, and 4 USB-C ports. Ports are accessible from both sides, providing 4 AC and 2 USB ports per side, allowing up to 4 seats to share a single post.
- Sleek and Durable Design: The post features a satin anodized aluminum finish and a sturdy steel base to withstand heavy airport traffic.
- Portability: The PowerPod Post simply plugs into existing AC outlets, making installation quick and non-disruptive to terminal operations.
- Serviceable: Convenient “plug and play” outlet receptacles allow for easy on-site maintenance if outlets fail over time.
- Made in the USA: Built with pride and reliability under Visiontron’s U.S.-based manufacturing standards.
By balancing functionality, portability, and aesthetics, Visiontron delivered a solution that seamlessly integrates into the terminal layout.
The Results
- Improved Traveler Experience: Passengers at JFK T4 can now easily charge their devices while waiting, reducing stress and increasing satisfaction.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Visiontron delivered the project under budget, providing significant value for the investment.
- Seamless, No-hassle Integration: The portable PowerPod Posts required no modifications to existing infrastructure and were installed quickly without disruption.
