Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT), a leader in AI-driven data experience and monetization, is teaming up with Realtek to showcase a groundbreaking software development kit (SDK) featuring WiSA E technology. This innovation will be unveiled at the Convergence India Expo, held from March 19 to 21, 2025. The SDK is designed to enhance the set-top box market by enabling immersive 5.1 multichannel audio without the need for additional transmitter hardware.
The new SDK from Realtek integrates WiSA E technology to deliver premium spatial audio experiences at no extra hardware cost. This feature allows set-top box manufacturers to offer high-quality wireless multichannel audio, transforming home entertainment while maintaining cost efficiency. By eliminating the need for separate transmitter components, manufacturers can reduce production costs while delivering cutting-edge audio capabilities.
WiSA E technology operates over standard Wi-Fi frequencies (2.4GHz, 5GHz, and beyond), ensuring robust performance and scalability with future Wi-Fi standards. It also supports seamless integration with existing systems, making it an attractive option for manufacturers aiming to enhance their product offerings.
This collaboration aligns with India’s digital transformation initiatives, which emphasize the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and secure data management across industries. Datavault AI’s patented solutions, including Data Vault® and ADIO®, are positioned to support enterprise contracting and large-scale infrastructure projects in sectors such as telecommunications, government, smart cities, and finance.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has highlighted the importance of AI in shaping the future, emphasizing the need for open-source systems that promote trust and transparency. Datavault AI’s Web 3.0-based solutions address these goals by enabling businesses and governments to securely analyze and monetize data at scale without compromising cybersecurity.
India’s AI market is projected to grow significantly, reaching $17 billion by 2027 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25-35% between 2024 and 2027. Similarly, the set-top box industry is expected to grow to $33.56 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 6.3%. The wireless audio market is also forecasted to expand from $56.5 billion in 2024 to $70.9 billion by 2029.
By integrating WiSA E functionality into set-top boxes, Datavault AI not only enhances its market presence but also unlocks new revenue streams through licensing opportunities and advanced features like ADIO inaudible tone technology. These innovations add value for both end users and manufacturers.
Nate Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI, emphasized the broader implications of this collaboration: “WiSA E technology enables manufacturers to seamlessly integrate multichannel immersive audio into set-top boxes, unlocking a richer entertainment experience for consumers while maintaining a low-cost transmission profile. Beyond just audio, this capability aligns with Datavault AI’s vision of merging experiences and data through our cloud-based Web 3.0 platform.” This vision includes enabling businesses to monetize data securely while enhancing end-user engagement through intelligent systems powered by AI and blockchain.
Attendees of the Convergence India Expo can experience Realtek’s WiSA E-enabled SDK demonstration firsthand. The event provides an opportunity for industry leaders to explore how this technology can transform home entertainment and support India’s rapidly evolving tech landscape.
