From the Other Side of the Country, Staff Use a VGo with Embedded 4G LTE to Showcase the Latest Network Enabled Applications

LAS VEGAS, NV, BASKING RIDGE, NJ, and NASHUA, NH – From the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Verizon Wireless and VGo announced the demonstration of a state-of- the-art robotic telepresence with embedded 4G LTE connectivity in the Verizon booth (Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall, Booth #30259). Direct from Verizon’s LTE Innovation Center, a remote person’s presence is replicated by a VGo in the booth, enabling complete freedom of movement and interactive conversations with attendees.

VGo is a productivity improvement solution that enables a person to replicate himself in a distant location and have the freedom to move around as if the person was physically there. VGo’s are being used today in enterprises where a person needs to manage remotely or participate in a project team. Healthcare organizations are using VGo to monitor patients, leading to higher levels of care at lower costs. Schools are saving money by enabling home/hospital bound and special needs students to attend class with all their friends without the additional costs of tutors. With embedded Verizon 4G LTE connectivity, VGo’s graceful form factor is preserved, while expanding the range of mobility by not requiring VGo to be close to Wi-Fi access points. In addition, congestion issues are managed and setup is extremely fast and easy.

Peter N. Vicars, president and chief executive officer for VGo Communications said, “When you have a solution that is guided remotely, the wireless connectivity is unbelievably important – we don’t work without it. Using a wide area, high-speed wireless network greatly expands the applications for VGo, and Verizon 4G LTE is the first service that meets the unique requirements of our real-time solution.”

Verizon Wireless leads the way in 4G with the largest 4G LTE network and most reliable 4G network in the United States, which now covers more than 200 million people in 190 markets. Verizon established its Innovation Program to encourage collaboration and help advance the 4G LTE ecosystem. The company’s LTE Innovation Center in Waltham, Mass., and its Application Innovation Center in San Francisco were created to inspire, enable and develop non-traditional devices, services and applications that take advantage of Verizon Wireless’ industry-leading wireless networks.

Through the Innovation Program, Verizon seeks to expand the possibilities of 4G LTE by working with diverse companies, from start-ups to established players, in industries representing a broad range of verticals. VGo has been a featured participant in the Verizon’s Innovation Program since the spring of 2011. Development assistance was provided for the embedding of 4G LTE capabilities into the VGo, and introductions were provided to technology partners resulting in commercial relationships between VGo and Novatel for the supply of their E362 4G LTE modem and with Taoglas for their PA.700.A antenna.
