don't you hate it when you run out of battery power for your phone on a beautiful day when you're out with your friends well AT&T has come up with a temporary solution called the ATT street charge station these are going up around New York City to give you a little juice when you're out whether it's your phone or the camera you have whatever kind of mobile device there are different charging ports that you can connect to plugging your phone into one of these outlets is no different than plugging it into the outlet of your home so it could take a while if you're completely empty on battery and you might want to hover around to make sure nothing happens to your phone this is the first unit put up here in Riverside Park in New York and this is a completely standalone device it's not hooked up to any power source from the ground it's completely run on solar energy and if it's completely empty it takes about four hours in direct sunlight to charge up the batteries inside and they can hold their charge for several days so you can plug in at night they're about 25 different units like this that are rotating around the parks in New York and 18t is going to be seen how people react to them well AT&T is doing this to learn how folks react to public free charging they do on their own in an unlocked environment to see how people can use them to charge up their phones to keep going on their day but also to see how how the community reacts to having something like this in their parks so if ATT finds that lots of people are loving these solar powered stations you might just see these at a park near your town frissina I'm Bridget Carey thanks for watching you
