In September, it launched the first-generation microphone array kit and China’s first smart speaker development kit for far-field voice interaction.

It won the awards of Zhongguancun High-tech Enterprise and Zhongguancun Frontier Science and Technology Enterprise, and passed the Zhongguancun Frontier Science and Technology Certification.
In cooperation with Xilinx and Cypress, it launched the FPGA far-field voice interaction development board, supporting Baidu to launch the SoundPi open platform and Xiaomi to launch the AI smart speaker.

It was recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise.
It launched the AI interactive system SoundAl Azero and provides technologies and solutions for well-known customers such as China Mobile, China Unicom, Huawei, Xiaomi, Lenovo, Baidu, Ali, and Tencent.

It strengthened the technology research and development of SoundAI Azero artificial intelligence interactive system, launched more consumer electronics and industry application solutions, and explored applications in operators, smart homes, smart parks, medical care, finance, transportation, and special security.

In response to the epidemic, it launched the first “zero-contact” AI elevator system and AI digital human infrared temperature measurement system, which were commended by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and reported by CCTV, People's Daily and other media.

With the independently developed "Azero AI Development Framework”, SoundAI undertook the construction of digital platform for epidemic prevention and control in Beijing, Yunnan and some prefecture-level cities in Hebei and Henan, including large-scale NAT, COVID-19 vaccination, multi-point epidemic monitoring and warning, and community-based joint prevention and control. It also provides AI support for important events such as the 100th anniversary of the founding of CPC, and United Nations COP15 Conference. At present, it has connected more than 300 hospitals and testing agencies, efficiently and reliably serving more than 300 million people nationwide.

Supported by the Azero AI framework, SoundAI was responsible four infrastructures in the Beijing Winter Olympics, namely, “NAT decision-making system for Beijing Winter Olympics”, “SoundAI NAT Gate for Beijing Winter Olympics Support”, “Command and Dispatch Platform of the Comprehensive Winter Olympics Support Group”, and “Winter Olympic Brain - Staff Information Analysis System”, providing comprehensive support services for the events. It also developed a set of Al epidemic prevention systems of the highest standards for global events.
