CSR's Wi-Fi Technology Powers Intempo's Internet Radio
(Product News, 9 Jan 2008)
CSR's RadioPro example design has been selected by Intempo Digital for its Daisy internet radio. Intempo's internet radio offers access to thousands of internet and FM radio stations, providing wireless streaming of internet radio via Wi-Fi without the need for a PC. CSR cooperated with DAB radio specialist Radioscape who provided Intempo with the FM functions for the Daisy. The Intempo internet radio will be in production by April 2008.
Intempo's Daisy radio has been designed around RadioPro, CSR's Wi-Fi internet radio example design. RadioPro provides Intempo with the benefits of a quick time to market, a flexible design and the lowest power internet radio platform in the industry. In partnership with Radioscape, CSR jointly developed the combined internet and FM radio to bring Intempo's radio quickly to the market.
RadioPro is based on two low power chips from CSR: UniFi and its Multimedia Application Processor (MAP), a highly integrated chip with a RISC processor, a DSP and a stereo codec. The low power design of RadioPro has allowed Intempo's internet radio to deliver 20 hours of continuous music streaming.
