Yamaha Unified Communications and Sharp Business Systems Team up to Make Remote Concierge Station

Yamaha Unified Communications and Sharp Business Systems have partnered to provide the hospitality, enterprise, education, health care and government industries with a post-COVID Remote Concierge Station solution. This partnership results in a combination of Sharp’s 40-inch or 50-inch flat-screens and Yamaha’s CS-700 Video Sound Bar in a mobile stand to allow organizations to staff key locations without having an employee on-site to provide customer service and reception response.

Featuring Sharp’s large-format professional display technology and Yamaha’s CS-700 Video Sound Bar, the Remote Concierge Station provides what both companies call the next best thing to face-to-face human interaction. The Video Sound Bar is a solution that makes natural-sounding audio and high-quality video collaboration possible. It features an adaptive beamforming microphone array for captured conversation, four Yamaha speaker elements and a wide-angle HD camera. This allows reception staff to monitor room activity and greet users as they approach.

The station connects to a UC platform via a single USB. The CS-700’s integrated network management system also allows IT staff to rapidly deploy and remotely manage each unit, designed for organizations with multiple CS-700 units installed in reception areas and meeting spaces.

The Remote Concierge Station comes mounted on a UL-certified rolling cart to prevent tipping, allowing organizations to move it for use as a mobile conference station safely. And, it can also double as a digital signage solution for ROI purposes.

The Remote Concierge Station is available for purchase through Sharp Business Systems.
