A startup company LISNR<\/a> has secured $10m in series B funding.<\/p>\n LISNR technology uses proprietary inaudible sound waves called SmartTones to connect devices. It works like existing technology protocol Bluetooth, except LISNR uses sound waves and does not require hardware or maintenance. Williams says LISNR technology has advantages over Bluetooth because it requires very little battery use and also boasts synchronization with a device in less than one-eighth of a second. Additionally, because the technology uses sound that you can\u2019t hear, LISNR leverages existing hardware and network of audio that\u2019s everywhere around us. This \u201cspeakernet\u201d or \u201cThe Internet of Sound,\u201d as Williams puts it, gives LISNR the ability to leverage a massive, existing network that\u2019s all around us. \u201cAnywhere there is a speaker or has the ability to broadcast audio, LISNR has the ability to turn that object or media into a data transmitting medium.\u201d<\/p>\n Read the press release on the LISNR web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
