Frontier launches Smart IoT software licensing business, partners with NXP
Frontier is providing its fully featured SmartSDK and design services to major brands and ODMs who are developing voice-enabled smart devices. Frontier’s SmartSDK is a mature starting point for the development of reliable and sophisticated networked devices and can be deployed in a range of IoT systems including smart audio, home automation, smart appliances and security.
Frontier’s SmartSDK has already been successfully deployed as part of the company’s turnkey solutions in over 20 smart audio IoT products incorporating Google’s Chromecast platform and Google Assistant.
Now Frontier is offering its SmartSDK as a standalone software proposition. In conjunction with licensing the SmartSDK, Frontier is also providing software design services to help customers bring their smart products to market quickly and cost-effectively.
To strengthen the appeal and flexibility of its software proposition, Frontier is working with NXP to port its SmartSDK to NXP’s recently announced i.MX 8M Mini, a new quad core SoC optimized for customers adding voice assistants such as Google Assistant and Alexa to smart home products. The i.MX 8M Mini brings high compute efficiency and security to a range of edge node computing, streaming multimedia and machine learning applications. NXP’s i.MX 8M Mini includes several innovative features which will enable substantial improvements to battery life for voice assistants. It also offers strong support for multi-channel audio products such as soundbars.
