Now, the innovations brought by LISNR raised recognition somewhere else, as it was named to the Consumer Technology Associate CES 2017 Innovation Awards list as an honoree in the Software and Mobile Apps category. The CES Innovation Awards happen annually and judges the newest products of several consumer technology manufacturers and developers, with this being LISNR’s first time receiving this honor. LISNR’s technology consists of an inaudible secure ultrasonic protocol that sends data over audio. Those sound waves are called Smart Tones, and the data is sent in customizable packets. This enables proximity data transmission, second-screen functionality, authentication and device to device connectivity, and can be applied on any device using just sound and software. Other than the aforementioned application as a ticketing system, LISNR’s technology can also play an important role in the industry of authentication – especially now, when there is so much concern and discussion regarding this subject. LISNR can be used as a secure and efficient offline method of data transmission, and also identify, authenticate, and transmit data. It can even serve as an offline security gateway to additional protocols. With such a level of innovation, it is surely expected that LISNR will keep making headlines (and maybe receive more honors) in a near future, definitely being worthy to keep an eye on.
