Cambridge, UK - 13 December 2007 - CSR (LSE: CSR) today announced that Kristine Overlaur has been appointed to the board responsible for bringing UWB (Ultra Wideband) Bluetooth to the mass market, the WiMedia Alliance. The appointment underlines CSR's UWB technology for worldwide use in mobile phones and other battery powered portable devices, with single chip silicon available in H208 with volume ramping in 2009. UWB is 100 times faster than regular Bluetooth over short distances, and as such, the market opportunity is expected to be significant in data rich applications such as mobile video content sharing. Whilst preserving the low power aspects of Bluetooth and fitting into the existing Bluetooth ecosystem, UWB Bluetooth will be featured in mobile devices in 2008.
Kristine Overlaur, Senior Standards Architect, CSR, commented, "CSR will be making significant contributions to the WiMedia board of directors and continued contributions in order to ensure the rapid progression of the UWB market globally. As experts in designing and manufacturing highly integrated, low power CMOS radios, CSR is perfectly placed to meet the demands of the UWB market."
Overlaur joins senior executives on the WiMedia Alliance board from companies including Nokia, Samsung and Sony.
