New Delhi:
AKAI, one of the largest Japanese Consumer Electronics brands with over
eight decades of lineage as a technology innovator in consumer
electronics today announced the launch of AKAI Smart Box. The
revolutionary product will transform any television including CRT,
Plasma, LCD or LED into a smart TV and that too at a price of a normal
smart phone. AKAI Smart Box based on Android platform breathes life into
any TV and converts it into a Smart TV that too with an open network
without getting restricted to the servers of Smart TV brands, as it
happens with most Smart TVs.
The device will be available across India
at an attractive introductory festive offer price of Rs 6590/- (M.R.P.
Rs. 6990/-). The company anticipates a market of 1 lakh units for the
AKAI Smart Box in the coming months and hopes to achieve a turnover of
Rs. 250 crore by the end of this fiscal with its new technology
launches.
The all-new
AKAI Smart Box comes with a wireless mouse for easier navigation with
which any TV can perform all the functions that a tablet PC normally
does. It is equipped with 4GB internal memory and supports memory upto
32 GB through an SD Card slot. It can enable users to connect to the
internet and browse websites, read popular books and newspapers, check
mails, weather and market updates, play games, book travel tickets, play
music, play videos on YouTube and be logged on to Facebook, Twitter or
Skype accounts. Customers can also shop from TV by logging onto any of
the shopping portals.
Mr. Pranay
Dhabhai, Managing Director, AKAI India said, “It has been our constant
endeavor at AKAI to offer products with state-of- the- art technology
coupled with great consumer offering and the AKAI Smart Box is a step
forward in this direction. Product life span in today’s digital age is
short; buy anything and by the time you’ve stepped out of the shop it’s
already outdated. Our Smart Box is set to change the way television is
seen in India. Customers can upgrade their existing TV to a Smart TV
which gives Full HD viewing experience without changing their existing
TV. Even consumers who are planning to purchase Smart TVs can choose to
buy a normal LED TV and connect with our Smart Box to get the benefits
of Smart TV at a fraction of the price.”
With its
Android operating system, this AKAI Smart Box converts a normal TV into a
PC where one can surf the internet, save pictures, watch movies, check
mails, download and listen to music. While the AKAI Smart Box upgrades
the existing TV, it also creates a hotspot if connected to a LAN cable
or 3G Dongle as it transmits Wi-Fi signal to operate other gadgets. It
also supports 2G network. Customers can even print documents from Wi-Fi
enabled printer. By using the HDMI cable one can get Full HD picture
quality. It has 4 USB ports, so besides a mouse, key-board and webcam,
one can connect hard disk or pen-drive and enjoy movies, music and
pictures on the TV itself. This Smart Box supports all popular movie,
music and picture formats. It can also save pictures and videos recorded
through the webcam.
