Whole-home audio and multi-room audio systems are allowing consumers to group speakers into a zone to play back a common audio stream.As a result consumers can create multiple zones each with their own audio streams.
The JB Multizone 2.0 uses advanced technology to reduce audio drops found in traditional Wi-Fi streaming applications.Wi-Fi direct eliminates the need for each speaker in a zone to connect with the access point, eliminating common problems associated with overloading access points.
Bypassing the access point also reduces the RF bandwidth consumed by half resulting in increased streaming quality and/or the ability to add more speakers in a zone. The addition of Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) to Wi-Fi Direct reduces source to zone speaker latency and packet loss resulting in tightly synchronized audio playback with minimal audio drops.
JB App is a mobile app that enables OEMs to deploy a complete whole-home-audio solution without having to manage an app development project.OEMs can choose between source code for custom app development or simply rebrand the app for release to consumers.Consumers use the JB App to create and modify zones, select audio sources and easily connect the speaker to the local Wi-Fi network.JB App source code is available at no charge and supports both iOS and Android platforms.
