Intelligent speaker market has come to two spoilers: Qualcomm / Apple will set off a new round of war

OFweek smart home network news Of course, companies like Amazon, Google and Qualcomm will not use the provided solutions, but many small businesses with the help of Qualcomm can quickly launch similar to Echo smart speaker products, which undoubtedly saved a lot R & D, testing, and other time and capital costs, so as to quickly promote the product to the market.

With Apple's announcement at this year's autumn conference that HomePod will enter the smart speaker market, it can be predicted that smart speakers will be the mainstream of the future development. Qualcomm, which has seized this stance, recently stated that it will strongly help the hardware. Manufacturers more easily create their own smart speaker products.

Qualcomm said that it will provide hardware manufacturers with a complete set of prefabricated smart chips, complete microphone technology and audio systems, etc., and through these components, hardware manufacturers can create their own smart speaker products.

Qualcomm's "Smart Audio Platform" contains most of the core technologies of smart speakers (in addition to speakers built into the speakers), with a far-field microphone system that supports beamforming, echo cancellation, and wake-up commands. The platform also offers WiFi and Bluetooth (apt-X HD technology for high-resolution audio transmission) and Qualcomm's AllPlay audio synchronization system.

PS: With Apple's "spoiler" and the help of Qualcomm, will the smart speakers really get fired this time?
