Frequently asked questions on the AURACAST webinar on September 17, 2025
How to Successfully Advocate for Auracast™ Audio Broadcasting in Public Spaces
1. What is the price range of Auracast™ transmitters?
The price of Auracast™ transmitters varies by model and features, but affordable options are available today. To explore current pricing, visit the Auracast™ product finder.
2. When will the Apple iPhone have native support for Auracast™?
We cannot comment on the product development timeline of any Bluetooth SIG member company. Broad adoption of Auracast™ across major platforms is already underway. Google recently added native Auracast™ support to Android 16, which will be used by all Android smart devices.
3. How can manufacturers get their products listed in the Auracast™ product finder?
After registering their Auracast™ product, manufacturers can submit it to the Auracast™ product database. Once verified, the device will appear in the Auracast™ product finder.
4. What is the recommended number of Auracast™ transmitters based on venue size?
The number depends on the size and layout of the venue. In general, one transmitter per audio source or zone is recommended.
5. Is there a limit to the number of end devices, or is range the only constraint for deploying Auracast™ in a venue?
There is no technical limit to the number of receiving devices; the main factors to consider are range and environmental conditions related to the space.
6. What is the advantage of an Auracast™-enabled venue compared to a Wi-Fi–based system?
Auracast™ delivers low-latency, synchronized audio directly to the ear on a large scale without requiring network access, login, or a separate listening device (such as a smartphone), unlike many Wi-Fi systems.
7. Will there be IEC guidelines for Auracast™-enabled venues?
Work is underway within the IEC on guidelines for deploying Auracast™-enabled devices in venues. The Bluetooth® specification and qualification process define Auracast™ transmitters, receivers, and assistants to ensure consistent behavior and interoperability across all Auracast™-capable devices in public and private spaces.
