Access to a wide and growing range of Cast-enabled audio services from
around the world1

Minuet is powered by a dual core 1.3GHz processor and state-of-the-art
802.11ac and Bluetooth™ Smart wireless technology from Marvell (News - Alert). This is
a continuation of Frontier's partnership with Marvell, which dates from
the launch of the successful Venice Wi-Fi module series in 2009.
The module includes a variety of interfaces to support audio accessories
and next generation sensor technologies for future smart home
applications.
