Founded in 2012, LISNR was created around the core premise that sound can do more. The single insight that sound can be leveraged as a conduit for wide-scale connections everywhere. More specifically, using sound to connect more people and devices in ways that had never existed before.LISNR is ultrasonic inaudible technology; a communication protocol that sends data over audio — enabling proximity engagement, seamless and secure methods of authentication, and device to device data transmission for automation and connectivity. We use ultrasonic audio called Smart Tones™ to transmit information. We’ve accomplished functionality that engineers and innovators said was impossible. With global commercial activations across millions of devices, partners & investors and as the only ultrasonic solution approved and deployed by government agencies, we’ve successfully proven LISNR as the New Global Standard for ultrasonic connectivity. The characteristics of leveraging audio for data transmission in the digital age is in its infancy and we are the pioneers.http://www.lisnr.com.See a demo here … https://vimeo.com/191506499
