Turn Surfaces into Speakers for business communication or Sound Masking for office and boardroom privacy

broadcast messages ultrasonically so no one can hear.
Or communicate using ultrasonic sound
- Ultrasonic Data Delivery: to transmit detailed content to smart phones
- Eavesdropping Security: sound masking walls powered by Feonic become acoustically opaque
- Counter Espionage Security: Prevents Laser listening espionage. Sound masking for windows
- Portable/Embedded solutions: Presenter Pro, the Portable PA that fits in a bag or briefcase
