RadioPro™ Wi-Fi Internet Radio

The World's Lowest Cost Wi-Fi Internet Radio
RadioPro is the lowest cost Wi-Fi Internet Radio solution available, with an electronic Bill of Materials (eBOM) of just $15*. RadioPro is built around two low-power ICs from CSR: the UniFi™-1 and the Multimedia Application Processor(MAP). These two ICs provide all the necessary silicon to design an Internet Radio device, including Wi-Fi, RISC coprocessor, DSP coprocessor and integrated stereo audio CODEC. The low-power consumption of RadioPro is a result of CSR's expertise in designing low-power chips for embedded applications for various Consumer Electronics products. Streaming of Internet Radio stations over wireless networks is rapidly becoming a must-have capability for many Consumer Electronics products. The RadioPro™ Wi-Fi Internet Radio is optimised to enable low-cost, quick and easy design of Wi-Fi Portable Internet Radio devices. RadioPro™ is designed to allow portable, low-power devices to stream music over Wi-Fi networks from the majority of Internet Radio stations. RadioPro™ is available as a complete design, which enables you to develop your own industrial design and then easily customise your Man Machine Interface (MMI), before taking it to production.

Quick and Easy Path to Market RadioPro™ is designed to enable you to get to market quickly. It includes:
Hardware development reference design including BOM, schematics, Gerber files and RF front end design
Full software running on RadioPro™ hardware including all the required drivers, streaming protocols, CODECs and MMI to stream music from live Internet Radio stations
Easy to use MMI integrated with a leading 3rd party Internet Radio Portal which allows browsing and searching of thousands of stations
Software Development Kit (SDK) that includes all MMI source code to allow full customisation of the MMI
