- Product Description
- Jawbone is a revolutionary new headset for mobile phones, designed to perform at a radically higher level to overcome the challenges of a noisy environment. Jawbone combines advanced technology with breakthrough product design to deliver greater performance, comfort and style for an exceptional user experience that far exceeds anything on the market today. Jawbone’s sophisti-cated proprietary technology delivers dramatic results in audio quality: · Enhances incoming audio · Increases intelligibility · Subtracts background noise.
- Market Opportunity
- The replacement cycles for headsets is faster than for mobile phones. And with mobile minutes quickly replacing landline use, voice quality is becoming a key wireless market requirement. To date, carriers have concentrated on improving network quality and paid little attention to audio quality — where Aliph is poised for technology leadership.
- DEMO Says
- It would be a mistake to simply dismiss Aliph’s Jawbone as a high-fashion alternative in the mobile headset market. The company takes a new approach to noise-cancellation and in so doing distin-guishes itself as an outstanding newcomer to the after-market mobile headset market.
