Technology from the project can be used in a number of commercial applications. IntriCon has both the manufacturing and the marketplaces established to apply the technology commercially. Applications include surveillance by law enforcement, Homeland Security, wireless hearing health products, industrial maintenance and airport monitoring. Wirelessly network acoustic monitoring technology from this SBIR is highly desired for use by NASA on ISS and for future long duration space missions for the long-term. To reduce crew work while improving monitoring NASA needs a miniature, lightweight, network of acoustic monitors that can process data at the sensor and transmit their data wirelessly. Low power consumption is very important to achieve long operating life with minimal crew maintenance.
