Confidential technology company
Impact ES–Rhode Island supported the development and cost optimization of a stationary microphone array system designed for voice recognition and tracking.
The client had acquired rights to microphone array technology originally developed at Brown University. The array could track a speaker’s voice as they moved around a room. To move the product into production, the client needed electronics redesign that would reduce cost significantly while maintaining functionality and performance.
Impact ES–Rhode Island, having previously supported Brown University in the original hardware development, applied that insight to reduce costs in a way that aligned with the client’s business objectives. The team redesigned the experimental prototype to meet industrial design constraints, performed functional testing of the final board, and conducted FCC compliance testing to ensure readiness for production.
