The store suitable technologies has opened in Palo Alto is staffed by staff who are not physically at the store.. This task is taken care of by its BeamPro telepresence robots.

The American robotics company Suitable Technologies has opened a store in Silicon Valley (Palo Alto) that marks a new concept in retail business, since the establishment lacks "human staff" to serve customers. The commercials have been replaced by the BeamPro telepresence robots.

It is a strategy of the company that uses its developments so that they sell themselves.. You could say that the entire store is a demo of the products that are sold there and that use Beam Smart Presence System technology..

BeamPro allows users to interact with remote locations through high-quality audio and video, with freedom to move around any space. A telepresence robot that enables instant collaboration thousands of miles away.

These teams are directed by human personnel who are in different locations and their tracking is done through GPS. This robot has two dual-band radios or an optional 4G card.

As security measures, BeamPro uses industry-standard technologies such as TLS/SSL, AES-256, and HMAC-SHA1. In addition, Encrypts all communication traveling through the system to ensure calls are kept private and secure.

The BeamPro solution consists of three components: the Smart Presence Device (SPD), A docking station and client software. The SPD is responsible for ensuring that the natural person can interact with people through their screen, While in the dock station is the battery that powers the robot and provides an autonomy of 8 hours of active use and 24 hours in standby mode.

BeamPro incorporates two wide-angle cameras, an array of 6 Microphones that reduce echo and background noise, a powerful speaker and LCD display 17 inches in format 4:3.

The core of BeamPro is its client software that allows you to configure the audio and video configuration and provide the interface from which it is managed.. Supports Windows 7 and 8 and Mac OS X 10.6+.
