Beam is a sustainable technology innovation company headquartered in San Diego, California with offices in the U.S. in San Diego, California and Broadview, Illinois; in Europe in Belgrade and Kraljevo, Serbia; and in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates ("UAE"). We develop, design, engineer, manufacture, and sell high-quality, rapidly-deployed and autonomous infrastructure products for electric vehicle ("EV") and autonomous vehicle ("AV") charging, energy security and disaster preparedness and highly energy-dense battery solutions in safe, compact, unique and bespoke form-factors which we believe are ideal for the rapidly growing mobile and stationary equipment product market which often requires electrical energy without being connected to the electrical grid. Additionally, we manufacture structures with integrated intelligence and electronics such as streetlighting, cell towers and energy infrastructure products for Smart Cities (the interconnected physical and digital elements within a city that utilize technology to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life for residents). We further design, engineer and manufacture specialized power electronics including inverters, charge controllers, power supplies and LED lighting.
Our EV and AV charging infrastructure products are powered by locally generated and stored renewable energy and enable vital and highly valuable services in locations where it is either too expensive, disruptive, or impossible to connect to a utility grid, or where the requirements for electrical power are so important that grid failures, like blackouts, are intolerable. We do not compete with EV charging companies; rather, we assist these companies by offering infrastructure solutions that replace the time-consuming and expensive process of construction and electrical work which are usually required to install traditional grid-tied EV and AV chargers. We also do not compete with utility companies. Our products enable utilities and others to deliver reliable and low-cost electricity to EV and AV chargers and, in the case of a grid failure, to first responders and others, through our integrated emergency power panels.
Our charging products are rapidly deployed without the need for construction or electrical work. We compete with the highly fragmented and disintegrated ecosystem of general contractors, electrical contractors, consultants, engineers, permitting specialists and others, who are required to perform a traditional grid-tied EV charger installation construction and electrical project. Our sustainable technology products are designed to replace a complicated, expensive, time-consuming and risk-prone construction and electrical installation process with an easy, robust and reliable product at a low cost of total ownership.
We provide energy storage technologies that make commodity battery cells safer, longer lasting and more energy efficient. Our battery management systems (BMS), and associated thermal packaging, make batteries safer and usable in a variety of mobility, energy-security, and stationary applications.
