Aliph's Jawbone Bluetooth Headset Integrates CSR's Bluecore Silicon

(Product News, 30 Oct 2008)

Aliph's new Jawbone Bluetooth headset is using CSR's digital signal processor (DSP) BlueCore5-Multimedia Bluetooth technology to enable its patented NoiseAssassin technology, which provides end-users with unrivalled noise elimination performance in any environment.

The new Jawbone is the successor to the original Jawbone headset. In the tradition of bringing together science and beauty, the new Jawbone design is 50 percent smaller than the original and features breakthrough noise elimination technology to provide even better voice quality in a smaller and more ergonomic package.

CSR's BlueCore5-Multimedia has a flexible DSP architecture, which allowed the designers at Aliph to easily add innovative features that help boost the performance and functionality of the Jawbone headset. Jawbone's NoiseAssassin technology literally feels the user's speech with its patented Voice Activity Sensor (VAS). The VAS allows the Jawbone headset to distinguish the user's voice from ambient noise with unprecedented accuracy. The proprietary NoiseAssassin algorithm uses the power of the CSR DSP inside BlueCore5-Multimedia to aggressively cancel out noise while accurately preserving the user's voice.
