Tech Data Corporation (Nasdaq:TECD) today announced an agreement
with Bragi to offer their Dash wireless smart earphones to solution
providers in North America through the company’s Client and Mobile
Solutions division. Introduced earlier this year, the Bragi Dash is
the world’s first truly wireless Hearable—a smart device that fits
in users’ ears—providing premium sound and a comfortable fit
combined with in-ear biometric sensors, live activity feedback, and
gesture controls.
“Our agreement with Bragi adds an innovative new
mobile product to our portfolio, offering our retail partners an
interesting Hearable solution,” said Tiffany Severance, director,
Client and Mobile Solutions at Tech Data. “Hearables are an
exciting new market for Tech Data and for many of our retail and
value-added reseller partners. The Dash offers a powerful audio and
sensory interface, as well as compatibility with iOS, Android, and
Windows 10 mobile devices.”
The Dash includes a powerful 32-bit processor,
four GBs of internal storage, optical sensors, a three-axis
accelerometer, Bluetooth and ambient sound. The waterproof device
can also monitor physical activity while running, cycling, or
swimming. Metrics recorded include heart rate and average steps,
duration, calories, distance, breaths, lengths and cadence.
“We look forward to expanding our North American
footprint by working with Tech Data and its network of solution
providers,” said David Hogan, chief sales officer at Bragi. “The
future is bright for Hearable technology and Tech Data’s
capabilities allow us to compete with many of the biggest
technology companies on the planet as a result.”
