Lotus-SE: The World's First 4G Smart Speaker

China Mobile's Innovative Design Revolutionizes Smart Speaker Technology

Lotus-SE stands out in the market for its unique properties. It is not just a speaker; it is a portable device that can be used anywhere, thanks to its 4G technology. It offers a wealth of educational and entertainment content from multiple platforms, making it a versatile tool for learning and leisure. The speaker's high yellow resistant TPU material enhances its durability, while its original fabric shell structure allows users to change the front shell, even offering a DIY option for those who wish to personalize their device.

The design realization of Lotus-SE involved the use of high yellow resistant TPU material to improve the speaker's durability. The back shell adopts an integrated two-color injection molding process, making it simple, dustproof, and waterproof. The mold parting line is cleverly integrated into the bottom information area, creating a seamless design. This not only saves cost but also improves production efficiency.

Lotus-SE is not only innovative in its design but also in its operation. The speaker can achieve network connection once the Sim card is plugged. It can be connected automatically to hundreds of home devices using China Mobile’s AndLink technology, and achieve smart control via voice. The light interaction is simple and clear: white for normal state, red for warning state, and green for calling state. It even serves as a portable battery with its USB power output function.

The design of Lotus-SE was a result of careful market research and analysis. The designers identified a gap in the market for a smart speaker that could satisfy customers' personalized needs, offer hassle-free connection settings, and provide unlimited resources. The result is a user-defined appearance, interactive-voice-controlled system, instant network via SIM card, and no time and location restrictions.

The creation of Lotus-SE was not without its challenges. The designers had to find a fabric that does not affect acoustics, but is warm and consistent with the impression of home furnishing. They also had to develop a high yellow resistance TPU material to reduce yellowing time and improve the durability of the speaker. Despite these challenges, the team successfully produced a smart speaker that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.

Lotus-SE has been recognized for its innovative design, winning the Silver A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award in 2019. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation, and Lotus-SE certainly fits the bill. With its unique features and cutting-edge technology, Lotus-SE is set to revolutionize the smart speaker industry.
