RF Micro Devices (RFMD), a provider of proprietary radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) for wireless communications applications, announced that its SiW3500 Bluetooth SoC is the enabling technology in Bluetake Technology's i-PHONO Mini, the new version of its popular Bluetooth enabled stereo headphone.
Ming Chen, vice president, product development department at Bluetake Technology, said, "Due to the popularity of MP3 players and the wide use of mobile phones, consumers are now looking for a single device that functions both as a mobile phone headset for hands-free communication and as stereo headphones. And they don't want to be entangled in wires. When developing the i-PHONO Mini, we were looking for a highly functional audio processing platform that seamlessly integrates with Bluetooth wireless technology and would allow for very small devices. With the SiW3500, we were able to produce one of the lightest, smallest and most portable converged devices on the market."
Dave Favreau, general manager of RFMD's WPAN product line, stated, "With RFMD's world-class Bluetooth performance and ultra low power consumption, we are in a position to drive growth in the emerging wireless headphone market and continue to increase our dollar content in high-growth wireless applications. It has been a pleasure to support Bluetake Technology with our SiW3500, and we are pleased to see them receive recognition for the superior quality and performance of their i-PHONO Mini."
