Frontier extends focus into Smart Home IoT
Frontier Smart Technologies, a leading provider of Digital Audio
and Smart Home technologies, announces that it has been chosen by
KOHLER, a global leader in kitchen and bathroom products, to power
its new Verdera Voice Smart Mirror with the Google Assistant(TM)
built-in.
This is a key milestone in Frontier's strategy to evolve its
focus beyond its traditional audio markets and into the broader
smart home market.
The KOHLER Verdera Voice powered by the Google Assistant is a
first-to-market model and features a high-quality mirror,
adjustable LED lights and hermetically sealed stereo speakers. The
LED lighting and speakers are voice-controlled via the Google
Assistant.
Frontier's solution for KOHLER includes its class-leading Minuet
module, SmartSDK and cloud services, which together deliver a fully
integrated voice solution with the Google Assistant and
Chromecast(TM) built-in.
The Verdera Voice Lighted Mirror with Google Assistant will be
launched in Q4 2019.
Anthony Sethill, CEO, Frontier Smart Technologies, said:
"As our first dedicated smart home development, this is an
extremely important project for Frontier. KOHLER is a global leader
in high-quality bathroom and kitchen products. Their decision to
choose Frontier's Minuet solution is clear validation of our
strategy to extend our focus beyond our traditional audio markets.
We are delighted to be providing the technology which will allow
them to create the world's first voice-enabled smart mirror with
Google Assistant built-in."
Jesse Lemel, Senior Product Manager - Styling Space, Kohler,
said:
"In designing the Verdera Voice Smart Mirror with Google
Assistant built-in, it was essential we had confidence in the
technology behind this new voice control capability. With
Frontier's track record in Smart Audio and its strong relationship
with Google, I am pleased we were able to find a partner who could
deliver on this requirement."
