Initially Targeted at Cable and Communications Service
Providers, Greenwave’s AXON Platform® Integrates
Nuance’s AI-powered Voice and Natural Language
Understanding
Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN) and Greenwave Systems today
announced that Greenwave has integrated the Nuance Mix voice and
AI-powered natural language understanding (NLU) technologies as
part of its award-winning AXON Platform® for managed services.
Working together, Nuance and Greenwave will afford networking and
communications service providers the ability to create new
conversational Internet of Things (IoT) services, devices and
experiences connected to disparate technologies and systems in
enterprises, industrial settings and in the smart home. The union
brings deeply integrated voice capabilities to the IoT.
According to IDC, 58 percent of organizations worldwide see the
IoT as strategic to their business, and 24 percent see IoT as
transformational. Additionally, smart home penetration is
anticipated to reach 60.7 percent of homes in the U.S. by 2021.
Such conditions create significant opportunity for reimagining both
business and personal technology interfaces.
Greenwave’s AXON Platform already powers millions of advanced
networks; it is trusted by leading telecom, cable and utilities
service providers to power their managed services for audio, video,
broadband and energy management systems. Integrating Nuance’s
AI-powered NLU and voice capabilities with Greenwave’s AXON
Platform gives service providers the ability to offer seamless
connectivity between IoT devices and services that not only lets
“things” and services talk to each other, but also lets people
converse with their apps, services and devices. Integrated
solutions made incredibly intelligent through data-driven AI let
providers maximize a frictionless experience between humans and
their technology. Within the smart home or the enterprise, this
collaboration between Greenwave and Nuance will deliver bespoke
virtual personal assistants that are conversational, intelligent
and easily integrated into any IoT environment.
“Voice control and activation is the most natural and intuitive
interface,” said Christos Lagomichos, chief operating officer,
Greenwave Systems. “With several products, services and standards
making their way into the home, we found that adding the
multi-language capability from Nuance to be the solution that helps
us meet the demand from our global operators providing IoT to their
consumers. The same is true of industrial use cases and complicated
enterprise IoT applications: voice-based interfaces ease that
engagement. Together with Nuance, we’re empowering service
providers with the ability to deliver unique yet powerful IoT
experiences that are intelligent, conversational and work
hand-in-hand to deliver on the promise of ubiquitous
connectivity.”
Nuance Mix combines Nuance’s trusted voice recognition,
text-to-speech, wake-up word, voice biometrics, signal enhancement
and AI-powered NLU into a single platform that is fully
customizable and scalable for the world’s leading service
providers. Further, Nuance Mix is data-driven – leveraging user
speech data to quickly learn and understand human language while
also providing service operators with access to that data to drive
new innovations or features.
“Service providers have a clear opportunity to lead the smart
home market with a number of offerings and services already central
to today’s connected home,” said Dan Faulkner, senior vice
president, communications service providers, Nuance Mobile. “What’s
long been missing is a flexible and scalable platform that isn’t
closed or proprietary, and makes it possible for a variety of smart
home systems to talk to each other. Our collaboration with
Greenwave changes all of that – giving service providers their
opportunity to create and deliver unique home automation and IoT
offerings that are conversational and customizable.”
