Libre Wireless Technologies Inc. has developed a strategic working relationship with Summit Semiconductor to enable low latency high resolution multichannel surround audio scalable from stereo to 7.1, as part of Libre's standard LibreSync WiFi media module platform. The integration of low latency multichannel on a single WiFi subsystem allows for concurrent support of multichannel as well as Libre's full WiFi music streaming, multiroom audio, voice and home connectivity features. This capability enables a significant cost down for connected sound bars and home theater systems that will bring wireless surround sound into the mainstream. Previously, low latency links have always been proprietary, single function modules adding incremental cost to the products as well as complex interoperability and RF coexistence challenges. Now, Libre enabled speakers will have the added benefit of being able to be used for WiFi music streaming as well as multichannel audio applications without adding additional cost to the speaker. This new solution also eliminates the coexistence challenges delivering OEM's and ODM's a solution with much lower cost, risk and faster time to market. The new Libre-Summit approach is expected to facilitate new use cases and incredibly compelling experiences for consumers with their mobile content as well. Whether for gaming, movies or web video content, the ability to provide high quality fixed low latency surround sound directly from mobile devices is revolutionary.
WiSA Technologies, Inc. is a provider of wireless sound technology for intelligent devices and next generation home entertainment systems through the sale of module components to audio companies as well as audio products to resellers and consumers. The Companyâs wireless technology, WiSA E, is software-based and works with standard Wi-Fi chips. Its technology is designed for easy implementation for the manufacturing brand to design with; flexibility to accommodate various price points and business models and maintaining wireless performance for the consumer. It has designed wireless modules, which provide high performance wireless audio for its customers to integrate into their products, such as a speaker, television, soundbars, set-top-boxes, and HDMI dongles. These modules can be designed using its custom semiconductors with its IP built in, as well as a Wi-Fi radio for communications or with its WiSA E software loaded onto a third-party Internet of things (IoT) Wi-Fi chip.
