Introducing VGo – A Breakthrough in Audio-Video Communication

Thanks for your interest in learning more about how VGo is benefiting organizations like yours.

Remember how amazed you were the first time you were in a video call? VGo is similar – it’s not like anything you’ve experienced before. Once you understand the applications and benefits, take a test drive – we can visit or you can do it from anywhere in just a few minutes.

  • See, hear, talk, and move in any location – be in two places at once
  • Mobility enhances your effectiveness at a distance by freeing you from the bounds of a conference room or office
  • 100% remote controlled – be fully-empowered even though you are not there at the remote site
  • High quality audio / video and easy remote driving via any PC or laptop with an internet connection makes it feel like you’re really there
  • Advanced security controls and privacy policies mimic real life
  • WiFi connectivity, battery power, and advanced robotics for driving deliver complete freedom of movement

See VGo in Action!

VGo is an entirely new solution that hasn’t been available until now. VGo gives you the ability to not only be in a distant location, but also to move around in that location. Remote people can go to where they are needed to get the job done without the cost and inconvenience of travel. VGo increases productivity by enabling anytime face-to-face interaction, not just in the conference room or behind the desk, but now anywhere in your facility. With VGo, you don’t make a call – you just go there – your presence is established remotely via VGo’s physical presence. VGo’s remote controlled mobility and physical presence makes it something totally different than a video conferencing session.

VGo utilizes standard ubiquitous Wi-Fi and broadband networks for its remote operation, allowing users to leverage their existing IT environment. The solution does not require any special actions on the part of people in the location of the VGo; people interact just as if the remote VGo-user were there in the flesh.

Disciplined engineering has produced a graceful and intelligent form factor, a simple yet powerful remote control user interface, high quality video images and amazing audio pickup and fidelity. All without the need for time consuming setup and training.

When you can’t be there, VGo there!


Remote Executives and Managers
VGo is used by executives and senior managers to run their organizations more easily and cost effectively. Visit distant locations at a moments notice, pop into the office when on the road.


Project Management
Project managers are using VGo to ensure progress continues on schedule. Remote team members can also use VGo to telecommute – increasing their value with the team.


Remote Student
Homebound or absent students are using VGo to attend class. VGo’s remote operation removes operational burdens from the local staff.


Patient Visits
Healthcare organizations are making VGo available to family members of patients and residents in their hospitals and senior care facilities and to healthcare workers to improve patient care.


How it All Works

VGo’s unique capability is in its remote controlled mobility combined with 2-way video and audio communications. The solution comprises two elements:

  • The VGo – The mobile device that you call into that carries your presence.
  • The VGo PC App – The software application that is downloaded to your PC that you use to initiate connectivity, see and hear the far end and drive the VGo.

Calls run over the internet with the help of VGoNet, a special cloud computing network that manages everything so you don’t have to.. The network was especially designed to handle the complexities of a solution that requires real time AV communications and simultaneous robotic remote controls.

Using VGo is Easy

  1. On your PC or laptop, bring up your VGo PC app.
  2. Click the location where you need to be.
  3. You’re done. There is no step 3.

Now you can see, hear, talk, be heard, be seen and go anywhere. Go fast, go slow, pivot in place -just like you would if you were there.
