Design speeds development of Internet radio
A Cambridge Silicon Radio product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jan 31, 2008
CSR's low cost RadioPro design has enabled NTEEP to produce a versatile module that can easily be adopted to provide Wi-Fi functionality.
CSR's RadioPro example design has been selected by NamTai Electronic and Electrical Products (NTEEP) for its Internet radio module.
Based on CSR's single-chip Wi-Fi silicon, UniFi-1, the RadioPro design has allowed NTEEP to bring its internet radio module to market in only eleven weeks.
CSR's low cost RadioPro design has enabled NTEEP to produce a versatile module that can easily be adopted to provide Wi-Fi functionality in a number of products including portable media players (PMPs), DAB radios, digital photo frames and VoWi-Fi phones.
With full hardware and software components included, NTEEP's module features an embedded microstrip antenna and an integrated PA and LNA to allow designers to add an external antenna if desired.
CSR's RadioPro provides wireless streaming of Internet radio via Wi-Fi and has been designed to allow OEMs a quick route to a high-growth market.
CSR's UniFi is the lowest power Wi-Fi solution in the market and features a chip scale package (CSP) that measures 5.8 x 6.4mm.
This has enabled NTEEP to produce its internet radio module in a form factor of just 40 x 40 x 2.85mm.
The module is also directly mountable by SMT equipment for high-volume and efficient production.
RadioPro provides up to 25 hours of active streaming time based on 1500mAh battery.
Integrating a high-performance 2.4GHz radio, baseband processor and media access controller (MAC), RadioPro includes all the required hardware drivers and a software development kit (SDK) to bring an internet radio to market at a low cost.
Karene Wong, CEO of NTEEP said, "We are focused on bringing new products to the market quickly to respond to the latest trends".
"Implemented properly, Internet radio is a huge opportunity".
"The simplicity and ease of use of CSR's RadioPro design allows us to bring our low-cost, high-quality internet radio modules to the market in a timely fashion for our customers to capture business opportunities".
