Smart Audio technology contract win
Frontier (AIM: FST), a pioneer in technologies for Digital Audio
devices, is pleased to announce that its Smart Audio platform has
been chosen by HARMAN International Industries ("HARMAN"), one of
the world's largest manufacturers of audio systems and speakers, to
power its new JBL Control Xstream wireless speakers. This is the
latest in a series of Digital Audio collaborations between the two
companies, which date back to 2013.
Minuet, Frontier's Smart Audio technology with Chromecast
built-in and Spotify Connect, will enable the JBL Control Xstream
speakers to provide highly synced wireless stereo and multi-room
capability. Frontier is one of a small number of solution providers
working with Google on its Chromecast built-in technology, enabling
its customers to develop Smart Audio products. The speakers, which
are sold as a pair, are expected to go on international sale at a
price of $499 per unit later in November 2017.
Lou Schreurs, Vice President BU Connected Home, Harman Lifestyle
Audio, said:
"Having worked with Frontier on other products, we were pleased
to extend our Smart Audio relationship. Frontier's technology team
supported us to complete development of the JBL Control Xstream
speakers in a timely manner."
Anthony Sethill, CEO, Frontier Smart Technologies, said:
"Our Minuet platform provides a complete toolkit for brands and
manufacturers wishing to develop Smart Audio devices with
Chromecast built-in. We are delighted that Harman has once again
chosen Minuet, this time to power its new JBL Control Xstream
wireless speakers. This is an excellent example of how our
longstanding relationships with some of the world's best-known
audio brands can lead to further contract and design wins for our
Smart Audio solution."
