Presenter Profile:
How they describe themselves: Pixeliris is a company with services in the area of technology marketing. The company started 15 years ago proposing audio software and has been expanding ever since with services and research in the area of digital development.
Pixeliris Labs is Pixeliris’ R&D laboratory that has been working over the past five years on different high-tech technologies including contactless communication protocols between smart devices. This research has resulted in several patents in the area of sonic and ultrasonic communication between smart devices.
How they describe their product/innovation: CopSonic is the first universal contactless mobile payment system powered by our unique technology. It is based on sonic communication transiting through the devices’ speakers and microphones. Therefore, our technology is compatible with 100% of existing phones and smartphones, unlike NFC technologies. Several patents have been filed with regard to the security of the transaction.
Our technology allows peer-to-peer transactions between feature phones and smartphones but also enables online passwordless authentication turning the devices into security dongles.
We developed an SDK that allows third-party companies to integrate the modules and, therefore, create a business model based on transaction fees or licenses.
Product Distribution Strategy: Direct to Business (B2B), through other fintech companies and platforms, licensed
