Juice™ Mobile Power

The average three outlets per classroom is not sufficient in the 21st century because of the requirement to keep electronic textbooks charged. As mobile devices continue to multiply, a need for access to power continues to rise. Learning is active, and access to power should accommodate this learning shift. Enter Juice™Mobile.

Juice™Mobile Power coverts a single wall outlet into a powerful, flexible mobile charging solution. It provides safe DC charging for an entire room, at a fraction of the cost of a retrofit. With its innovative, portable design, Juice™Mobile Power provides users with the power and flexibility to arrange and re-arrange rooms without compromising access to power. Eliminating the clutter of tangled web of uncompliant extension cords, the Juice™Mobile Power's streamlined design turns a single wall outlet into a powerful, flexible mobile charging solution. With its intuitive, built-in FLI Charge safety technology, Juice™Mobile Power smartly detects foreign objects and instantly powers down to ensure safety. And when the object is removed, the system instantly powers up, making it safe for everyday use. For an extra level of safety, connection points are magnetic, ensuring they are strong enough to keep devices charged, but safely break away to mitigate trip hazards.


Our client and our point of view is the same. Education is the key to the future of America and technology can significantly improve the education process.

The research process that informed the need for the product included extensive ethnographic research in educational environments throughout the country.

When the average schools were built 40-some years ago, contractors never imagined that each student would need access to power to keep their textbooks charged. As most educators know, the average classroom has 2-3 outlets, and they are almost always in the most inconvenient locations. As mobile devices continue to multiply, the need for access to power continues to rise.

Learning is active, and access to power should accommodate this learning shift. Juice™Mobile Power supports the mobile learning of today, with a simple, intuitive solution that brings power where its needed. Productivity is boosted by keeping devices charged all day, while users continue to participate in learning. Then can plug-in, unfold, power up, and go, with a floor to table power delivery solution that brings power off the walls and into the center of the room, so students can continue to connect and interact, while acutely charging their devices.

As districts bring BYOD and one-to-one initiatives to life, mobile devices become an active part of the school day. Districts often lack the infrastructure to give each student a dedicated plug. Juice™Mobile Power is a simple retrofit-free way to roll out power to the classroom, securely and safely charging up to 20 mobile devices from one outlet.

Most districts have charging carts or lockers that keep devices secure, while they update and charge overnight, and while an excellent solution, batteries dying throughout the day is inevitable. Juice™Mobile Power allows students to keep devices powered throughout lesson plans. No more stopping learning to secure a charge.

Our school audience were students and our experts were teachers.

Teachers expressed a need for flexibility to arrange and re-arrange rooms without compromising access to power, without the cost of an expensive structure overhaul. A solution that requires little set-up, allowing for greater flexibility and access to power for an entire room within minutes.

Juice™Mobile Power track is rugged enough to sit on the floor and at 1/4", Juice™Mobile Power track is ultra-thin to provide power to the center of the room without impacting foot traffic. Rubberized grip at the bottom of the track keeps the track in place, and prevents slipping. Pick-up connectors are magnetic, allowing for safe power distribution and smartly detach in a snap and the flexi-hinge allows the track to be folded and packed-up, taking power where you need it most. Juice™Mobile Power has the ability to daisy-chain up to three bases for Active Charging for up to 30 laptops or 60 tablets/phones all from one single wall outlet.

Outside of flexibility, teachers also look for safe products to include in their classrooms. With its intuitive, built-in FLI Charge safety technology, Juice™Mobile Power smartly detects foreign objects and instantly powers down to ensure safety. And when the object is removed, the system instantly powers up, making it safe for everyday use. For an extra level of safety, connection points are magnetic, ensuring they are strong enough to keep devices charged, but safely break away to mitigate trip hazards. Juice™Mobile Power delivers safe DC charging, in a streamlined design, eliminating the clutter of tangled web of uncompliant extension cords. Juice™Mobile Power is tested to to IEC 62368 to meet or exceed electrical safety standards.
