Audio Accessibility for All
Auracast™ broadcast audio will become an advanced, new assistive listening system that will be significantly easier and lower cost to deploy while offering higher audio quality and greater privacy. Overcoming the challenges of traditional ALS technologies using a familiar, proven technology ubiquitous in most consumer audio devices will provide the added benefits of enabling broader deployment and increased availability of ALS for people with hearing loss, while also expanding applicability of these systems to consumers with all levels of hearing health.
Public locations – including conference centers, movie theaters, transportation centers, places of worship, and more – will deploy Auracast™ broadcast audio to promote better living through better hearing for everyone.
Augmented/Assistive Listening
Venues equipped with public address (PA) systems, including airports, cinemas, lecture theatres, conference venues, places of worship, and beyond, are set to elevate the auditory experience dramatically. This enhancement comes through allowing guests to stream PA announcements directly to their personal Bluetooth® earbuds via Auracast™ broadcast audio or compatible hearing aids.
Leveraging Auracast™ broadcast audio in such scenarios transforms it into an advanced, economical assistive listening technology, enhancing sound quality for attendees, irrespective of their hearing capabilities.
Unlimited Listners
Auracast broadcasts operate on a principle akin to traditional FM radio transmissions. No direct link exists between the sender and receiver, making the broadcaster entirely oblivious to how many devices are picking up the signal. This unique characteristic means that the audience's capacity is essentially boundless.
