Home brand BPL is all set to launch Alexa

India’s home brand BPL is all set to bring the Alexa experience to its local customers with the launch of BPL Voice One. According to its makers, the BPL Voice one will connect to Alexa-cloud-based voice service to play music, check calendar, weather, sport scores, manage to-do and shopping lists, control smart home devices and others. With this speaker, BPL hopes to enhance the consumer experience and counter the gradual fatigue that has been seen in using touch devices.

Speaking about the company’s foray into new technology, Manmohan Ganesh, COO, BPL Limited, said, “As a brand that pioneered numerous technologies into India, I am happy that we have the opportunity to be the first Indian consumer company to bring out an AVS enabled smart speaker.  In keeping with our reputation for outstanding quality, BPL Voice One will set the benchmark for smart audio performance in the ultra-compact speaker segment. BPL’s speaker is in the prototype stage and will be released after specific tests that are in the process”.

With in-built microphones, and noise cancellation, the BPL Voice One is a voice-controlled speaker designed to be controlled entirely by the user’s voice. In cooperation with Amazon, BPL will launch Voice One to its customers in India in early 2018. BPL Voice one will be made available on Amazon.in exclusively.
