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'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 co-operated with DAB radio specialist Radioscape which provided Intempo with the FM functions for the Daisy.
The Intempo Internet radio will be in production by April 2008 with a price tag of GBP 149.
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.
According to Tracy Hopkins Vice President of CSR's Consumer Business Unit: "CSR is committed to making the adoption and integration of wireless technology easier for designers and manufacturers".
"CSR's RadioPro was designed with the intention of enabling OEMs such as Intempo to quickly produce Internet radio devices for the mass market".
Kevin Parslow from Intempo Design adds: "CSR's UniFi Wi-Fi silicon and software has enabled us to produce an Internet radio that offers high quality and performance to a wide audience".
"The CSR RadioPro example design allowed us to bring the Daisy radio to mass production within a very short space of time".
Andrew Dewhurst, Product Manager at RadioScape, adds: "We have decided to jump straight past the conventional module approach and have provided our first complete Internet radio design".
"Firmware updates can be sent to all or specific receivers over the Internet and the receivers have a fail-safe backup in case of failed or interrupted downloads".
