“Space as Service” IoT Work Booths Provide Privacy and Wellbeing
to Millions of Travelers & Mobile Workers
(New York - January 2018) Positioned at the intersection of tech, design, business, and innovation,
NYC-based startup Jabbrrbox is revolutionizing the modern travel experience, one public space at a time.
Eight of the brand’s connected workspaces have just been installed in New York’s LaGuardia Central
Terminal B, a major hub that sees over 15 million travelers annually. The work booths deliver
acoustically-sound, private spaces with free, reliable, and secure WiFi, flight-tracking abilities, terminal
maps, and a photobooth app, with expansions including Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling, a
camera for video conference calls, in-booth speakers, screen-sharing capabilities, and speakers for music
and handsfree calling. A breakthrough solution for the increasingly mobile workforce, Jabbrrbox’s
consumer service is the perfect environment for on-the-go work, wellbeing, and on-demand privacy.
Jeremy Jennings , Co-Founder and President of Jabbrrbox, comments “In every aspect of modern life,
we can see a marked trend toward mobility, notably in the increased presence of laptops, tablets, and
smartphones in the public sphere. But supply and infrastructure has not kept up with demand: public
space flexibility does not account for the disruptive background noise that comes along with conference
calls on the street, or those long layovers between flights.” Brian Hackathorn , Co-Founder and CEO
adds, “We saw the need for ‘space as a service.’ That’s where Jabbrrbox comes in: for on-the-go calls or
as an on-demand quiet workspace, Jabbrrbox is your space-away-from-office. The LaGuardia Central
Terminal B installation is a great benchmark for us, as we continue our trajectory of growth and expand
the service to numerous public spaces across the US.”
The well designed and comfortable interior of the booths features superior acoustic qualities as well as
proprietary enterprise technology developed with Andrew Southern , Chief Technology Officer of
Jabbrrbox. The booths are outfitted with lighting adjustments, flight-tracking, wayfinding, and secure WiFi
for a private, encrypted network. As an on-demand consumer amenity, users are able to access the
Jabbrrbox in 30 minute increments ($15/30 min), with a door passcode and WiFi password provided at
the time of reservation.
“This is the best of 21st-century innovation for a timeless need: real world connections to the things that
matter,” says Ed Baklor, Chief Commercial Officer, LaGuardia Gateway Partners, the operator of
LaGuardia Central Terminal B. “Improving the experience for all of our 15 million annual visitors is at the
core of our mission at LaGuardia Gateway Partners, both in the current Terminal B and in the new
Terminal that we are building. Jabbrrbox's private work spaces provide the type of features – including
free and secure wi-fi, flight-tracking and a hands-free calling – that Terminal B visitors want and need. We
are excited to be able to provide these types of amenities for our guests.”
The brand will continue to expand its on-demand consumer service in a wide variety of open and
semi-public spaces including building lobbies, hospitality, conference & venues, retail, transit hubs,
additional airports, etc throughout 2018.
PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
