Listen Technologies Corporation has announced a private channels feature in its Listen Everywhere wireless system that streams audio and customised content directly to smartphones and smart devices.

Listen Everywhere private channels provides a convenient way for venues to create confidential, password-protected audio channels on their networks.

The private channels are said to be ideal for courtrooms, boardrooms, and conference rooms where confidentiality may be necessary. In academic environments, administrators can create a private audio channel for closed classes or study groups.

Venues can also use the private channels feature to offer members and guests access to premium content. For example, they could offer VIP ticket holders at drive-in sporting or theatre events exclusive access to behind-the-scenes commentary.

The new feature is easy and intuitive for venues and businesses to manage. Venue administrators, professors, or IT personnel can select any or all channels on their networks to mark private, and generate passwords directly from their smartphones through the new administrator section of the mobile app. Passwords can be communicated to the intended recipients in any manner that meets a venue’s security protocol and needs (e.g., email, text, website, signage in the room, etc.). When listeners want to stream a channel that is designated as private, they are prompted for a password and must enter the correct password to hear the audio on their own iOS and Android devices.

“Listen Everywhere has continued to delight customers and end users because it is easy to install and use, and delivers a seamless connection to superior audio quality,” said Maile Keone, president of Listen Technologies. “As BYOD (bring your own device) trends increase and people maintain physical distance from others in the workplace, schools, and drive-in events, Listen Everywhere plays a crucial role in helping them hear and engage safely.”

Additional features of Listen Everywhere include a new app administrator section on the mobile app that allows for easy password management by venue managers and administrators. This is compatible with iOS and Android devices. The private channels feature also is flexible so administrators can set up channels as public, private or any combination.
