Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) has announced a strategic partnership with leading Southwest U.S. radio station 99.7 FM to commercialize its patented ADIO(R) Inaudible Tones(R) technology. This one-year pilot program integrates Datavault’s ADIO and Data Vault(R) data monetization services into 99.7 FM’s live events and advertising platforms, representing the first mainstream broadcast application of ADIO’s data-over-sound innovation. The collaboration, initiated by Datavault AI Co-Founder and CMO Sonia Choi, is pending FCC approval and is expected to enable interactive, two-way audience engagement through sound-triggered mobile communications, effectively bridging digital and physical experiences.
According to the press release, the partnership sets the stage for new revenue creation and expanded advertising inventory for both companies. By embedding inaudible tones into broadcast audio, listeners can trigger mobile actions—such as visiting a website or redeeming an offer—simply by being within earshot of the broadcast. This capability transforms passive radio advertising into an interactive experience, allowing advertisers to measure engagement in real time. The pilot is a critical step for Datavault AI as it seeks to expand its footprint across the $28.75 billion U.S. radio advertising market, offering broadcasters a novel way to monetize their audiences beyond traditional spot advertising.
Datavault AI is a leader in AI-driven data visualization, valuation, and monetization, operating through its Acoustic Science and Data Science divisions. The Acoustic Science Division boasts technologies such as WiSA(R), ADIO(R), and Sumerian(R), which focus on spatial and multichannel wireless HD sound transmission. The Data Science Division leverages Web 3.0 and high-performance computing to provide solutions for experiential data perception and secure monetization. The company’s cloud-based platform serves multiple industries, including sports and entertainment, events, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy. Its Information Data Exchange(R) (IDE) enables Digital Twins and licensing of name, image, and likeness by securely attaching physical objects to immutable metadata objects.
This deployment with 99.7 FM is not just a technical milestone but a strategic move to validate ADIO’s commercial viability in a large, established market. If successful, it could pave the way for broader adoption across other radio stations and media platforms, potentially transforming how advertisers interact with audiences.
