Simple integration with Android-based TVs and projectors seeds market for interoperable WiSA E-enabled speakers and soundbars

WiSA Association, a subsidiary of WiSA Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: WISA), announced today that it has executed its fourth 5-year WiSA E licensing agreement with a fourth major HDTV/PTV (Projection TV) brand. The WiSA E license allows the brand to integrate WiSA E software into its products, thereby offering consumers a variety of wireless immersive audio options including full interoperability with any of the WiSA E-enabled speakers offered by the many WiSA Association speaker brands.

“We are very pleased that yet another major HDTV brand recognizes the value of our WiSA E technology, as well as our licensing model for market deployment,” said Tony Ostrom, president of the WiSA Association. “With four major TV brands onboard, the market is clearly validating both our technology and our vision of enabling every immersive audio source device with low-cost capability to deliver high-quality interoperable wireless audio to consumers. We continue to pioneer a new era of audio technology for high-quality, immersive audio experiences driven by an increase in demand for exceptional wireless audio solutions.”

WiSA E entails a full suite of audio features that define how audio should be experienced across HDTVs, PTVs, soundbars, mobile devices, set top boxes, and speakers. WiSA E can be implemented across four HDTV SoC providers, including Realtek, Amlogic, Mediatek, and Novatek, and can be designed to be fully interoperable with WiSA-E enabled speakers.
