History and products
Andrea Electronics was founded as Andrea Radio Corporation in 1934 by Frank A. D. Andrea Sr.
In the 1960s, the company designed the intercom communication system used in the first crewed Mercury space flight capsule as well as military intercoms for helicopters and the F-16 fighter jet.
In 1998, the company pioneered microphone array technology, which has become a standard for hands-free VoIP communication embedding its advanced noise-cancellation technology into millions of computers produced by global manufacturers, including Dell and Hewlett-Packard.[1]
In more recent years, it began manufacturing its own brand of headsets known as SuperBeam headsets. The company has created boom-free, all-purpose headsets essentially applying its microphone array technology to the headset industry.
After 75 years of predominantly working with NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense as well as doing OEM work for several companies, the company decided to create a line of advanced digital array microphones for use in IoT devices, information kiosks, aerospace, robotics, and automotive telematics applications that employ technologies such as natural language processing and artificial intelligence.
