Business Wire
Frontier Smart Technologies, a leading supplier of digital audio
technologies, today announced it is adding support for AirPlay 2 to
its SmartSDK. The company will be previewing its AirPlay 2
implementation at this year’s CES.
The Frontier SmartSDK is an advanced and flexible
multi-ecosystem software solution, which supports the latest audio
technologies, including AirPlay 2. Together with Frontier’s Minuet
hardware platform, it enables third party brands and manufacturers
to develop smart audio products quickly and cost-effectively.
AirPlay 2 introduces multi-room audio playback from iOS devices
to enabled speakers with a simple tap or by asking Siri. AirPlay 2
also offers a superior user experience with latency reductions and
responsiveness improvements; it also provides a higher level of
buffering, which allows audio to keep playing if users temporarily
move out of Wi-Fi range.
Anthony Sethill, CEO, Frontier Smart Technologies,
said:
“We are excited to bring AirPlay 2 support to Frontier’s
SmartSDK. For third party brands, this functionality will allow
speakers to be seamlessly controlled from an iPhone or iPad using
the Apple Music or Podcasts apps, by asking Siri, and in third
party apps which support AirPlay. This will be an important
differentiator in the increasingly competitive Smart Audio
space.”
