  • THD Podcast 72 - Entering China Under COVID Zero – Two Experiences of the Process To Get Into China as a Foreigner

    The Total Harmonic Discussion / the THD Podcast. A weekly discussion on audio and headphone technologies and the people who bring the technology to market.


    In episode 72, we have two tech veterans based in Shenzhen, China explain their experiences in crossing into Shenzhen, China with the current entry and quarantine requirements. The process has relaxed slightly in the last few months but it is still difficult. Some people really need to get into China to work with their partners in manufacturing so we felt this was a timely discussion that is slightly ajar from our usual technology discussions. However, the tech does not matter if you cannot get to the factory to make it :)

  • THD Podcast 64 - TRILLBIT Data Over Sound Technology Make Any Device A Data Receiver Authentication

    The Total Harmonic Discussion / the THD Podcast. A weekly discussion on audio and headphone technologies and the people who bring the technology to market.


    In episode 64, Bhaskar Deo, CEO/Co-Founder, and Dr Robert Poor, President, of Trillbit join to introduce and explain their exciting technology. Trillbit is a Techstars & Cisco-backed startup building the “internet of sound”. Internet of sound is a concept of connecting devices in proximity over inaudible sound waves (near-ultrasonic). There are more audio speakers than people on the planet and every smart device has a microphone. Trillbit is using this ubiquitous distribution of hardware to build a seamless authentication and proximity communication product.

    Trillbit has proprietary (patent pending) data over sound technology. We can add data on top of any existing audio/video thus converting any audio speaker into a data transmitter and any device with a microphone into a data receiver. This data can be any digital data from authentication information to cryptographic data. Application Areas: We sell our solution for user authentication, IoT & MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication).

    Trillbit’s team has a strong technical and business background who is committed to creating the Internet of Sound. The company is operational based out of Boston and Bengaluru. Trillbit is growing fast and we are currently working with clients who are Fortune 500 companies. Trillbit have been judged best emerging IoT startups by various forums like TiE, Nasscom, IoT India Congress, Network World, and have been covered by major news platforms like Yourstory, Computer World, Business Wire, Yahoo Finance, etc.
