SoundTrack™ – asset tracking for personal/portable audio devices


SoundTrack™ is Virscient’s audio device tracking solution for connected products, integrating the Apple Find My network to provide reliable, interoperable tracking without reinventing the stack. It solves the problem of customer frustration and loss when portable audio devices (earbuds, headphones, speakers) go missing, by enabling reliable location tracking via Apple’s extensive device network.

SoundTrack™ was designed for use with Qualcomm S3 and S5 chipsets, and the product roadmap includes S7 and the addition of Google FMN integration.

Position your new audio device as "too precious to lose"

Product owners or designers wishing to add asset tracking to audio devices like headphones and earbuds face many challenges:

  • Implementing Find My network support is complex and tightly controlled by Apple.
  • The required software stack must be efficient in power, memory and flash usage on constrained devices.
  • Ensuring privacy, security, and unwanted-tracking prevention is mandatory.
  • Integrating with existing Bluetooth SoCs and firmware without major redesign is tricky.
  • Passing Apple’s certification and validation process is critical!

SoundTrack™ by Virscient solves these challenges:

  • It provides a fully approved reference implementation for Apple Find My, tailored for Qualcomm’s Bluetooth LE Audio chipsets
  • It requires only 55kb Flash to run in typical configurations.
  • It includes privacy and unwanted tracking prevention modules built in.
  • It integrates with leading Bluetooth chipsets (e.g. Qualcomm QCC series) with minimal disruption, and provisioning requires no additional BOM cost apart from Apple tokens.
  • It is designed to simplify the Apple certification path by aligning with MFi requirements.

Expected outcomes

When you add SoundTrack™ to your new personal or portable device, you’ll benefit from:

  • A packaged solution ready to evaluate for your use case
  • Pre-certification with Apple, support of Qualcomm
  • The guidance of the Virscient team as you procure your own Apple partnership in order to purchase Find My network tokens.
  • Early mover advantage by adding Apple Find My network integration – positions your brand as “too valuable to lose”
  • Access to Virscient’s Audio Centre of Excellence for support on other aspects of your product development project.
