DVOX redefines the way people experience live events by providing a reliable and simple way to stream live audio content directly to event attendees’ smartphones without the need for apps or extra hardware.
The Canadian start-up is one of seven companies selected to be part of the 2023 AO StartUps mid-year portfolio.
This ground-breaking technology allows fans at live sports events to use their smartphone to directly hear live commentary, everything happening on the bench, the referee's calls or even the players themselves.
The DVOX audio streaming technology was deployed during the recent Laver Cup at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver – offering fans an event first immersive audio experience, with sounds from the team benches streamed live to their smartphones.
Tennis Australia will also pilot the DVOX technology during Australian Open 2024 offering in-stadium fans with access to live match commentary audio feeds.
“We are thrilled to have been selected by AO StartUps for their latest cohort,” said DVOX President Sebastien Boulanger.
“The opportunity to be supported by such an incredible organisation as we expand our reach in the Sports Venues market is truly exciting. We are eagerly looking forward to collaborating with their talented team.
“The initial push to invent the DVOX live audio streaming solution for smartphones was primarily focused on the events market. However, we are now gaining traction in the sports venues market, and with the support of AO StartUps, we feel even more confident that we will conquer this category.”
AO StartUps is led by Tennis Australia’s Innovation team and follows the launch of Tennis Australia’s Venture Capital fund (Wildcard Ventures) and its multi-year partnership with global accelerator powerhouse, Techstars.
