Last month, Power Up had the honor of attending the 2024 Maryland Public Safety and Emergency Communication Product Expo. Hosted by the Baltimore Regional Cooperative Purchasing Committee and the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, this event brings together the region’s biggest names in safety and communication technology. 

The tradeshow was a fantastic opportunity for Power Up to showcase our latest innovations to emergency managers, safety officials, and other industry leaders. Emergency department staff from the following states attended:

• Maryland

• Delaware

• DC

• Virginia

• West Virginia

• Pennsylvania

Connecting with the Industry

We had the opportunity to engage with the people at the forefront of emergency management. These conversations have already helped us understand what the industry’s current needs are, and how Power Up can help shape its future.

“It’s always exciting to present innovative solutions that can contribute to sustainability and efficiency in public safety and emergency services,” said Scott Calhoun, Power Up COO.

The focus of this expo aligned perfectly with our mission: connecting the moments that matter. Power Up is committed to developing the best possible solutions because we know emergency communication is essential. 

By helping people get in touch with family members, find resources, and contact response teams, communication keeps communities together. Power Up products empower emergency response departments to serve their communities and provide meaningful support during a crisis.

Power Up’s Emergency Communication Solutions

At the expo, we highlighted two of our most popular emergency communication products, the Solar Charging Trailer and the Power Station. These products are designed to be deployed in a wide variety of situations, making them a smart investment for emergency management teams.

The Solar Charging Trailer’s impressive features make it an all-in-one tech solution for outreach after an emergency. Community members can recharge their devices using the trailer’s charging station, which can power 60+ cell phones. RFID/PIN-controlled lockers provide peace of mind that their devices will be secure. Meanwhile, emergency response departments can broadcast updates using the 2 55” outdoor-rated screens and 400-watt audio system. Plus, it’s extremely durable and portable.

Our Power Station batteries provide power on the go wherever you need it. They’re perfect for emergency response teams looking for a portable emergency power solution. It can fuel worksite equipment, communication tech, medical supplies…anything your community needs in an emergency. The battery output is 3kWh of power, charged by AC or a solar panel. It weighs only 50 pounds and can be set up nearly anywhere thanks to the hard-shell rugged case.

We’re proud of the emergency response solutions we already offer, but we know it’s just the beginning. Power Up continues to be at the forefront of portable power solutions. We even had the chance to discuss future product offerings at the expo, such as our GreenGrid 90k Trailer. Stay tuned for more on this… coming soon!

Thank You!

Power Up would like to extend our gratitude to the tradeshow organizers, attendees, and everyone who helped make this exciting event possible. We had a wonderful time at this event and look forward to attending again in the future.

Are you hosting a tradeshow this year? After 2 years of mainly virtual events, many tradeshows are opting to return to in-person and hybrid events. Now more than ever, it’s important to give attendees a positive experience at in-person tradeshows. Device charging is a popular amenity that will help guests feel comfortable and stay connected.

Tradeshow attendees need access to their devices to exchange contact information with new connections, post about your event on social media, and much more. Charging units from Power Up make sure attendees can always access their phones, tablets, and laptops throughout the show.

Power Up Your Tradeshow

Our Charging Table is the perfect centerpiece for networking. Available in high-top, standard, and coffee table heights, you can create a comfortable charging station for attendees to relax and recharge. Each table can charge over 20 devices simultaneously, so there’s plenty of room for groups to keep the conversation going while they charge their devices.

For longer-term charging, select a Charging Locker. These lockers allow attendees to securely charge and store their devices. We offer multiple configurations, including touch screen panels, wireless charging, RFID, and more. You can also add on UVC charging, giving guests the chance to sanitize their devices — a great amenity for large gatherings during COVID.

Let’s Get Started

Every business deserves charging devices for its employees, customers, and visitors. However, we understand that not every business is prepared to make the investment of purchasing equipment. Or, maybe you don’t have the storage capacity to keep equipment for the long term. Or, perhaps your business only operates seasonally. Maybe you just want to provide guests with a way to charge their devices for a specific annual event. Whatever your situation may be, renting a charging unit from Power Up could be an ideal solution for you!

What are the Benefits of Renting a Charging Unit?

From outdoor sports arenas, to weddings, to small family-run businesses, there are plenty of situations where it makes more sense to rent. It’s like test-driving a new car—by renting a charging unit, you can enjoy the benefits of Power Up’s charging units without the commitment of purchase. You’ll have the opportunity to see how guests love the convenience of charging their phones and start seeing the ROI for your business.

Which Kind of Charging Units Can be Rented?

Every situation calls for a different charging solution, so we offer a variety of different units for rental. All of our units feature multiple USB ports and charging cables, so that event attendees can charge their devices easily.

Our charging tables are perfect for social events or conferences, with room for people to gather around and charge their devices while they chat. For larger events like sporting events, or public spaces like retail, the Pure Zone Charging Locker allows guests to charge their devices securely. The Pure Zone Charging Tower is great for almost any occasion since it has a small profile that can fit into most spaces.

How Does the Rental Process Work?

Renting a charging unit from Power Up is a breeze. We know you have a busy schedule, so we aim to make the process as smooth as possible.

Simply contact us at least 2 weeks before delivery so that we can prepare your unit(s) for you. We’ll ask you to provide the event date(s), delivery date, and pick-up date. We’ll also need to know the rental location, as well as the phone number and email of a point of contact onsite. Please allow 1 week for travel to the event.

If you would like to add customized branding to the unit, we ask that you contact us 3 weeks in advance so that there is plenty of time for us to ensure that the branding meets your expectations. Our prices are based on a 1-week rental period, but if you need your unit for a longer period, that’s no problem! You can extend your rental period up to 1 month.

If you decide that you love the charging unit and would like to keep it, you will have the option to purchase it before sending your rental back! If you would like to return the unit, be sure to allow 1 week for travel after pickup to return it to Power Up. Please note that we can estimate shipping rates, but pickups on/around holidays or weekends will increase the freight to and from the event. Additionally, all rental equipment has usage analytics that will be provided after each event if requested.
