EqualOcean has been informed that POROSVOC (Chinese: 波洛斯), a smart audio chip company, has announced the completion of an angel round financing of CNY tens of millions.
Founded in 2018, POROSVOC is a company that specializes in providing smart audio processing chips, as well as solutions for smart finance, office, home, education, security, and other fields.
Currently, various industries have more urgent needs in the field of audio and voice processing, from education to finance, various industries are increasingly dependent on audio processing-related functions. Against this background, POROSVOC has launched a series of innovative AI audio processing chips, achieving industry leadership in intelligent speech recognition, noise reduction, echo cancellation, sound source localization, TTS speech synthesis and other functions. At the same time, POROSVOC independently researches and develops the whole industry chain in algorithm development and chip design, and comprehensively realizes localization substitution.
According to independent tests, the noise suppression effect of POROSVOC's chip reaches 50dB, and the echo suppression is as high as 65GB, in comparison, the noise suppression ability of most foreign chips is only 25 to 35GB. In terms of chip response speed, the "POROSVOC" chip reaches within 50 milliseconds, with a main frequency of up to 280MHz, while supporting multiple algorithms in parallel.
In addition to performance advantages, the POROSVOC chip also has an advantage in terms of price, said Wei Xiangcheng, compared with domestic and European and American similar chip unit prices reduced by nearly 40%.
In the commercialization of landing, POROSVOC is mainly for the education, military, office, financial and medical and other areas of enterprises.
Specifically, in the education industry, POROSVOC's products can be used for classroom sound pickup, sound reinforcement, sound field equalization and sound field isolation, to provide teachers and students with a better teaching experience; in the military industry, POROSVOC's chip products are widely used in communication in weapons and equipment;
In the office industry, the chip is suitable for remote videoconferencing, on-site sound acquisition and remote identification, etc. In the medical field, POROSVOC has been integrated into many large-scale medical devices to realize high-quality doctor-patient communication and intelligent device control.
Meanwhile, POROSVOC chip products have also been widely used in the fields of intercom, mine communication, security and digital human.
In order to improve the efficiency of commercialization and meet the diverse needs of various industries in audio processing, POROSVOC also provides an open-source architecture cloud platform. This platform is characterized by the visualization of the operation side and low operation threshold, which allows enterprises to customize the product functions according to their own needs, and maximize the simplification of the delivery process through the turnkey solution to achieve rapid delivery.
The investors of this round of financing are China Invest(Chinese: 中科投资) and Jadao Gongcheng Investment Management Fund(Chinese: 嘉道功程投资管理基金). The financing proceeds will be mainly used for the R&D of distributed array and spherical array algorithm breakthroughs, private cloud and edge computing program upgrades, spatial noise reduction and other innovative technologies.
