Sound without speakers
History and background
FeONIC Audio Drive technology was developed originally by the US Navy in the 1970s in response to a government brief.
As a result of the brief the US Navy created the highest power density synthetic material known to man for underwater sonar reproduction – a "smart material".
This smart material's ability to deliver massive force from small amounts of electrical stimulation has been used by FeONIC’s designers to create solutions for a wide range of industries and applications, including the transport sector.

Together with some of the world's biggest suppliers of passenger sliding doors and gating systems we're working to produce media panels have both video and audio capability.
During 2008 successful trials were conducted to demonstrate that station signs and ceilings can be utilised as speakers using FeONIC's exciting technology.
Trials of FeONIC audio technology are about to begin in a number of schemes at railway stations.
