Wifi Revolution

Telechips' multimedia software development kit features wireless connectivity using CSR's BlueCore4-ROM for Bluetooth and UniFi-1 Portable for Wi-Fi technologies.

 

While BlueCore allows users to wirelessly connect to stereo Bluetooth headphones, UniFi allows connection to access points for downloading music or video files, or to a PC for file transfer.

 

Telechips' multimedia software development aims to dramatically reduce time to market for new design solutions incorporating both Bluetooth and WiFi. Since the Telechips design runs on Windows CE, MicroC/OS-II and Nucleus, the most common operating systems for multimedia players, Windows CE, MicroC/OS-II and Nucleus, it makes the design easy for customers to integrate and use.

 

The company explained that running CSR's BlueCore Host Software (BCHS) stack on the multimedia applications processor eases the design process as well as lowers the cost in contract to earlier solutions.

 

Thanks to CSR's interference avoidance techniques, the two wireless technologies are 'aware' of each other, which reassures users that Bluetooth and WiFi (News - Alert) can be used simultaneously without any effect on the quality of either.

 

Tracy Hopkins, vice president of CSR's Consumer Business Unit believes the intrinsic portability of an MP3 player or PMP is perfect fit for CSR technology, as they’ve always striven to provide the lowest power Bluetooth and WiFi silicon on the market.

 

Hopkins points out that Telechips has a strong working relationship with several top MP3 and PMP manufacturers in the world. People can therefore expect wireless-enabled PMPs courtesy of Telechips and CSR on the shelves within the next six months.

 

According to Min-ho Seo, chief executive officer and president of Telechips, wireless connectivity is widely demanded among customers and end- users and as a result many companies have focused on multimedia solutions with wireless connectivity.

 

“It is meaningful for both of us to work together as Telechips can use CSR's low power and low cost solution, already recognised as a strong and comprehensive one in the market,” said Seo in a statement.
