Libre
Wireless Technologies, Inc., a leading embedded WiFi and wireless
solutions provider, today announced two groundbreaking WiFi-based
turnkey music streaming modules that finally bring high-value WiFi audio
and music streaming features into mainstream consumer electronic
products. Libre’s new LS5 and LS6 WiFi media modules offer complete WiFi
and media processing functions with Libre’s extensive LibreSync
App and SDK that includes all-important networking, control, system
interface, media streaming and popular music services.
Libre’s new turnkey LibreSync WiFi module solutions are unique as they
deliver broad ecosystem support including Apple AirPlay, Android DLNA,
Windows Play-To and full uPnP DMR/DMP/DMS support along with music
streaming features Spotify Connect, TuneIn, vTuner, Deezer, QPlay, Wimp
and Melon plus USB, Docking/iAP and SD audio. The LS5 and LS6 Network
Media Modules offer these many compelling and industry-leading features
combined with Libre’s unique and powerful multizone streaming
technology, all at a price that enables entirely new lower cost product
categories. Both the LS5 and LS6 offer fully integrated connectivity and
media processing capability combined with advanced 802.11n WiFi. The
WiFi is in a 1x1 configuration for LS5 and an advanced 2x2 MIMO
configuration for LS6. The new modules are available at industry leading
high-volume prices down to less than ten dollars ($10.00) for LS5 and
less than thirteen dollars ($13.00) for LS6. These prices include fully
certified modules, Libre’s extensive LibreSync SDK with all media
streaming features and accompanying Android and iOS reference Apps. The
modules are the world’s smallest size in their category, yet provide all
the processing features and on-board WiFi for a full audio streaming
solution. The LS6 measures just 1 inch wide by 1.6 inches long. The
Libre product offering sets an entirely new bar in the WiFi connected
wireless audio market in terms of module price, size, power and the
advanced high capacity multizone streaming technology, demonstrating
greater than 20 speakers in a whole house environment.
“Libre Wireless Technologies has worked closely with ecosystem leaders
and top music service providers to bring our customers the best of what
is available in the market,” says Jordan
Watters, Chief Revenue Officer of Libre Wireless Technologies. “With
our many CE brand customers and ODM partners looking for compelling WiFi
features at ever-lower prices, we are quite pleased to now offer them
the LS5 and LS6 solutions. With these new products, Libre not only
provides customers with the most interoperable and customizable
platforms but also brings them at the lowest size, power and price –
finally enabling WiFi into mainstream CE products.”
Libre Wireless Technologies is now sampling LS5 and LS6 modules with
full featured LibreSync media streaming software and SDK for design
engagements with customers.
