for an Audio Retrofit

Auracast™ Retrofit Opportunities

Auracast™ devices are already on their way. In addition to these Auracast™ product releases, there is also a complete suite of Auracast™ retrofit transmitter solutions coming to market that will allow us to experience Auracast™ broadcast audio sooner than later. This newly released infographic outlines the Auracast™ retrofit opportunity in detail and highlights some of the largest volume opportunities with the lowest barrier to implementation for locations and devices to take advantage of these retrofit solutions today.

• Public Assembly: Auracast™ adapters can connect to the more than eight million existing global sound/public address systems, transforming any venue into an Auracast™ location without the need for an infrastructure upgrade. Classrooms, lecture halls, places of worship, libraries, community centers, transportation hubs, and convention centers already equipped with these systems can add Auracast™ adapters to allow visitors to listen to audio from the venue using their own Auracast™ listening devices.
• Personal Audio Sharing: Auracast™ dongles are plug-and-play solutions that turn existing smartphones, tablets, and laptops into Auracast™ transmitters. When plugged into your device, these dongles can enable enhanced personal audio sharing from your current hardware. Industry analysts estimate that 1.7 billion Bluetooth platform devices will ship this year, creating huge market opportunities for dongle developers to help transform existing products into Auracast™ capable solutions. 
• Office Buildings: Auracast™ streamers can plug into the more than ten million legacy TVs and other screens around the world to broadcast audio directly to listeners with Auracast™ enabled earbuds, hearing instruments, or other receiver devices. Connecting to existing conference room sound systems, Auracast™ streamers can transmit the meeting audio to attendees with hearing aids, earbuds, or headset devices.
• Public TVs: HDMI, USB, and auxiliary streamers and adapters provide a simple and affordable option to unmute the millions of silent TVs already in public locations, allowing visitors with Auracast™ receivers to listen to the TV of their choice without filling a venue with unwanted ambient audio for others. And with 5.3 billion products expected to deploy by 2028, there is a tremendous opportunity for streamer/adapter manufacturers to capitalize on the demand to make legacy TVs Auracast™ compatible.
