Chirp works with a portion of the world's leading toy brands to make connected toys that offer improved digital encounters that are shielded from the more extensive hazard that is presented to the web presence. A Chirp is a standardized sonic barcode. Information and data can be encoded into an exceptional sound stream. Any gadget with a speaker can transmit a Chirp, and most devices with an amplifier can translate them.

Chirp can likewise expand a current system foundation by making information over-sound connections between singular gadgets and a network that is protected to utilize even in RFD-restricted environments. This expansion will empower the association of the 90 percent of devices on the planet that would not ordinarily be a part of an IoT biological community with the 10 percent of gadgets that would. It will offer relatively unlimited critical thinking likely outcomes over all components, including telecommunications, financial administrations, IoT, diversion and broadcasting, intuitive gaming, toys, robotics, transportation, and numerous others.
