The 5,500-square-foot BIC is the centerpiece of LG Business Solutions’ U.S. headquarters located in the Chicago suburb of Lincolnshire, the company says. The Chicago BIC exhibits the flexibility and powerful visual impact of LG’s DVLED displays with a range of pixel pitches going as low as 0.7mm for meeting rooms and public areas. This includes the MAGNIT line and All-in-One series that includes speakers and a media player for single-day installs.
Additionally, several variations of the CLOi autonomous robot prove their capabilities for food and beverage delivery and warehouse use.
The center presents distinct spaces dedicated to hospitality, medical and IT. It showcases a wide variety of cutting-edge technologies throughout that can be deployed to satisfy virtually every business need.
