Listen Technologies Relaunches ListenWIFI as Next-Gen Audio-Over-Wi-Fi Solution
Listen Technologies Corporation, a leading provider of advanced wireless listening solutions
for 25
years, has launched the next generation of its audio-over-Wi-Fi solution at InfoComm 2023 and
rebranded the solution as ListenWIFI. ListenWIFI will replace Listen Technologies' Listen
EVERYWHERE
solution when it becomes available later this year.
"ListenWIFI is a clear and simple descriptor for a sophisticated new listening system that delivers
audio seamlessly to smart devices and new ListenWIFI receivers," said Kim Franklin, Vice
President
of Global Marketing at Listen Technologies. "The name ListenWIFI aligns with what the technology is
and follows the naming convention of other Listen Technologies solutions. 'WIFI' is also universally
recognized and synonymous with wireless accessibility."
Listen Technologies launched the first audio-over-Wi-Fi solution, known as ListenWiFi, in 2014. In
2017, ListenWiFi became Listen EVERYWHERE after Listen Technologies' acquisition of ExXothermic's
Audio Everywhere technology. ListenWIFI is the evolution of Listen EVERYWHERE.
The new system features LWR-1050 dedicated receivers, ListenWIFI LA-490 Beacons that enable
automatic connection to audio based on location, new servers, and enhanced software that simplifies
system configuration and management.
"We wanted to distinguish ListenWIFI as a new solution. It is more than a product upgrade," added
Franklin. "The ListenWIFI suite of products is the evolution of audio streaming technology and the
industry's most advanced, universally accessible and compliant, audio-over-Wi-Fi assistive listening
solution."
