Ai-for-audio Solution to Debut at CES 2018 Under Linkplay-Bambu Deal

08 January 2018

An adaptive intelligence (Ai)-for-audio technology solution poised to help smart-device makers improve audio Source: Linkplay TechnologySource: Linkplay Technologyquality and save money will debut at CES 2018 in Las Vegas during January 9-12.

The introduction is part of a new partnership between Linkplay Technology and Bambu Tech. By offering Bambu’s software-only AWSM Ai Audio™ on its WiFi module, Linkplay will become the world’s first turnkey WiFi audio solution provider to apply Ai to optimize inbound voice and outbound audio processing.

Last year, Linkplay became one of the first System Integrators for Amazon Alexa Voice Service (AVS). Its turnkey platform powers many products from brands such as iHome, Jam Audio, Kitsound, Anker, FABRIQ and others.

For Bambu, the strategic partnership offers more validation for the startup’s Advanced Wave Sound Method, aka AWSM (pronounced “awesome”), which uses Ai to restores the fidelity to streamed or stored audio compromised by digital audio compression in any format, whether MP3s, AACs or even CD-quality WAV files.

AWSM Ai Audio analyzes audio sample-by-sample in real-time and anticipates what needs to be done to ensuing samples. It adapts to the dynamic millisecond-to-millisecond changes, details and harmonics of sound — cleaning and restoring them individually and as they affect each other the way they do in the physical world.

Both companies will be at CES 2018. Linkplay will be in at the Venetian in Suite 35-204, where Bambu also will be demonstrating its AWSM Ai Audio on smart speakers, soundbars, TVs, laptops, smartphones and cars.
