The solution involved creating both a mobile app and a cloud solution to support the client's new line of modern loudspeakers. The goal for the mobile app, available on both iOS and Android, was to be intuitive, functional, and aesthetic, allowing full control of the loudspeakers. Features of the app included Social Sign-On (SSO), speaker setup and control, a global directory of internet radio stations and podcasts, support for all new and upcoming client speakers, advanced speaker settings, and seamless firmware updates and notifications.

For the cloud solution, the client requested deployment on AWS, focusing on easy long-term maintenance, stability, and on-demand scalability. The cloud solution consisted of features like over-the-air updates (OTA), a content delivery network (CDN), Internet of Things (IoT) support, Identity-as-a-service (IDaaS), and custom logic using AWS Lambda.

The software development process began with a lean inception workshop, defining features and creating the MVP scope and roadmap for the IoT solution. The team worked in the scrum, breaking up the development roadmap into initial two-week sprints. The first phase of the project included user onboarding, speaker onboarding, and basic speaker control. Following the continuous integration and deployment process, all features were tested on hardware prototypes to ensure compatibility with the speakers. Once all changes were made and the app was polished to perfection, it was launched on both Google Play and the Apple Store, ready for users to download and start setting up their speakers.

This comprehensive solution provided a seamless connection between the client's innovative loudspeakers and the users, enhancing the audio experience and offering full control through a user-friendly mobile app.
