Yamaha Unified Communications and Sharp Business Systems have a new social-distancing friendly solution for customers and guests in any lobby or front desk environment. It would work well in the hospitality, enterprise, education, health care, and government industries with a safe, healthy way to interact with customers and guests in any lobby or front desk environment. The Remote Concierge Station solution brings together Sharp’s 40-inch or 50-inch flatscreen and Yamaha’s CS-700 Video Sound Bar in a mobile stand to allow organizations the ability to staff key locations without having an employee on-site to provide customer service and reception response.
“COVID-19 has highlighted the need for solutions that help public-facing staff have meaningful interaction with customers, patrons, and guests while maintaining social distance,” said Meghan Kennelly, director of global marketing and communications at Yamaha Unified Communications. “The Remote Concierge Station is perfectly suited to meet this new need. Our CS-700 collaboration system has been used for years by businesses all over the world to help users drive professional-quality remote meetings. Now, staff will have peace of mind while ensuring that they will be able to see and hear customers just as clearly as if they were talking to them face to face — but they can be safely working from home, in the next room, or even across the country.”
Last December, we broke the news that Yamaha is working with Intel Unite:
The CS-700 Video Sound Collaboration System and USB speakerphones integrate with Intel Unite, a simple, customizable wireless collaboration solution that enables users to start meetings quickly and securely — without for dongles, adaptors, or cables. From the Intel Unite app, users can efficiently control Yamaha audio and video products for even more seamless meetings and greater productivity.
The Video Sound Bar is a comprehensive solution that makes natural-sounding audio and high-quality video collaboration possible. It features an adaptive beamforming microphone array for perfectly captured conversation; four Yamaha speaker elements to provide the highest degree of audio intelligibility; and a wide-angle HD camera that captures guests and the room in clear detail. 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 connection and eliminates the need to operate disparate video and audio while keeping lobbies, waiting rooms, and reception areas neat and welcoming. The CS-700’s integrated network management system also allows IT staff to rapidly deploy and remotely manage each unit, which is ideal for organizations that have multiple CS-700 units installed in reception areas and meeting spaces.
The Remote Concierge Station comes mounted on a rolling cart that is UL-certified to prevent tipping, allowing organizations to safely move it for use as a mobile conference station. With the built-in flexibility, it can also double as an immediate and long-term digital signage solution for greater ROI. For example, it can be used to remind guests of any mask ordinances and best practices. Additionally, as staff return to the office, it can continue to be used to welcome incoming guests with check-in or company information. It also includes a Shuttle NC03 computer mounted on the back of the display, wireless keyboard, power strip, and remote control.
This great pandemic tech news follows on the news that Yamaha has a video soundbar solution for mobile virology testing labs which we broke on our sister site, tehrani.com.
We are impressed with how fast Yamaha UC has moved to help society get through the Covid-19 crisis.
