Parrot Bluetooth Hand's Free

Based in Paris and founded in 1994 by Henri Seydoux, its Chairman and CEO, Parrot S.A. is one of the profitable, fast-growing companies that have emerged from the "start-up" generation. Since its beginnings, Parrot's core competence has been the technologies for embedded noise-robust voice recognition and signal processing, with applications in mobile computing and mobile communications.

Parrot has assembled all the expertise required to quickly turn its ideas into products, from the development of signal processing algorithms and application software, to the design of dedicated chipsets. Parrot also has adopted an outsourced manufacturing model.

Parrot Technology
Parrot's core competence stems from a long standing policy of investment in chipsets design, which provides the best platforms for its specialized software. Parrot works in close collaboration with chip manufacturers and founders ATMEL, STMicroelectronics and components supplier Infineon.


Acoustic algorithms developed by Parrot s engineers to perform voice recognition, echo cancellation and noise reduction, are highly adapted to the automobile environment, from the component level and up.

Parrot is one of the few companies to develop the Bluetooth® wireless technology stack, rather than rely on third party code. This independence ensures better maintainability of products throughout their life cycle.
