AURIA FAQ

Connected Audio is a term refereeing to devices that can stream audio directly from the internet and provide advanced features such as multi-room. Using Wi-Fi, devices can connect and stream audio content from the Internet, which enables unlimited streaming without needing a battery powered mobile device to be always turned on and connected.

Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio is the next generation of Bluetooth that is designed for audio. Central to the improvements is the new LC3 (Low Complexity Communication Codec) codec, which provides higher quality audio with less power consumption, meaning battery powered devices can play music for longer.

Frontier have developed the OKTIV app to allow super easy setup of AURIA. The app allows for AURIA based devices to be discovered with Bluetooth LE and then can connect to Wi-Fi with three easy steps. Once setup, AURIA based devices can be controlled with OKTIV.

OKTIV can be rebranded or manufacturers can develop their own apps using Frontier’s Application Programming Interface (API).

Additional, audio streaming apps like Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal Connect can directly play audio on AURIA.

AURIA supports over 100,000 internet radio streams.

Using Frontier ConnectedAudioKit, which is a package of documentation and example code to explain how manufacturers can create a custom app or integrate AURIA into a product using a third-party Microcontroller Unit (MCU) that communicates directly and runs functions on AURIA.

A stream kit is available from Frontier – this includes a reference platform, which is a fully working and certified implementation of a wireless speaker based on AURIA. Contact Frontier to learn more.
