Audio Provides Streaming CD Quality Audio From PC’s,

and Car Audio Systems
Las Vegas, NV November 19, 2002 -- Cable
Replacement Technologies, Inc. and PoGo!
announced today it would showcase its wireless solution
via Bluetooth? to replace conventional audio cables
allowing wireless streaming audio. This innovative
hardware and embedded software solution provides
wireless transmission of CD quality audio (94dB
signal to noise, 0.003% THD) from mobile devices,
at low cost. PoGo! will be demonstrating
the technology at booth #10539 this week during
Comdex 2002, by showing a PocketPC and a Personal
Computer streaming MP3 audio to wireless speakers
and headphones.
“Our solution meets all three requirements
for using wireless technology in consumer devices:
price, size and audio quality” said Dr. Juergen
Kienhoefer, CEO and co-founder of Cable Replacement
Technologies, Inc. “We chose to join forces
with PoGo! because of their ability to
bring new technology products to the marketplace
in a timely manner" said Christopher Weiler,
VP Sales & Business Development. "PoGo! will be providing two product applications
of the technology in the near future that will provide
consumers the ability to enjoy high quality audio
without any wires from a PocketPC with Bluetooth
to our wireless receivers modules in the car or
the home stereo system in one product, and from
personal computers using our USB/Bluetooth Transmitter
in the other product. The personal computer based
product provides a low cost, easy to use, wireless
system to allow the playback of MP3 files that are
stored on a PC in one room over the home stereo
system, which is usually located in another room.
PoGo! is also looking at incorporating
the technology in portable digital players for wireless
connectivity to other third party devices, such
as headphones, speakers, and car audio systems.”
“We were immediately interested in the technology
when Cable Replacement Technology first contacted
us” said Bob Fullerton, Director of Product
Marketing at PoGo!. “After hearing
just how great audio quality is over their wireless
system, we decided to move forward with solutions
for PocketPC and Personal Computers.”
Cable Replacement Technologies plans to license
its audio technology to various consumer electronic
companies to ensure compatibility between MP3 players,
wireless speaker systems, home entertainment systems
and car stereo etc. Other applications are expected
to follow.
