DENVER – CUE Audio and SIDEARM Sports announced today a new relationship that will change the way collegiate sports fans experience events using SIDEARM-powered mobile apps.

Using CUE’s data-over-audio technology, colleges and universities with a SIDEARM mobile app will be able to create synchronized light shows, synchronized selfies, and trivia and coupons for delivery with smartphones – without the need for cellular service or a Wi-Fi connection.

“The technology CUE brings to our collegiate athletic mobile apps allows our clients new opportunities to engage with their loyal fans,” said SIDEARM Sports President and CEO Jeff Rubin. “It also fosters an abnormally high level of reliability and widespread adoption because a Wi-Fi or cellular connection isn’t required to launch or participate in the engagements.”

Using cutting-edge technology allowing the transmission of data via inaudible sound waves, SIDEARM and CUE will create new in-venue experiences for hundreds of thousands of fans, as well as provide new engagement opportunities for universities’ brand partners.

“SIDEARM leads the pack in their industry, and we’re excited to align with them to upgrade fan experiences and find innovative ways to use our data-over-audio technology to enhance their products,” said Jameson Rader, founder and chief innovator of CUE.

General availability of CUE integration with SIDEARM is available now. Potential clients should contact CUE Audio at cueaudio.com/contact or SIDEARM Sports at 315443-1872.
