WiSA E Gains Traction in the Set-Top Box Market with 3 Different Implementations at CES

Set-top Box Segment Expected to Produce Revenue in 2024

WiSA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WISA), a leading innovator in wireless audio technology for intelligent devices and next-generation home entertainment systems, is poised to enter the set-top box market with multiple implementations of its WiSA E software expected in the market in 2024. Traditional set-top boxes as well as streaming media devices are typically hesitant to add multichannel audio functionality due to the additional cost of the required hardware to support the feature. WiSA E’s software transmitter allows manufacturers to load wireless multichannel audio functionality on the production line or on demand as a field upgrade to existing platforms at a nominal cost. The end consumer has the option to activate the software at any time.

"Set-top boxes and other streaming media devices are well-positioned to take advantage of embedded multichannel audio software,” said Tony Parker, vice president of technical marketing and strategy. “WiSA E was designed to work with existing processors and Wi-Fi hardware. As a result, embedding WiSA E functionality does not increase the BOM cost in the same way additional multichannel hardware has in the past. We anticipate many more streaming media devices will want to take advantage of this cost-effective model for offering immersive multichannel audio to their consumers.”

Using a software approach to enable wireless multichannel audio features in streaming media devices offers multiple advantage to both manufacturer and consumer:

  • Advantages for the manufacturer:
    • Access to functionality with no additional hardware costs
    • Extended product lifespan – software updates keep devices current and competitive
  • Advantages for the consumer
    • Consumers only pay for the features they choose when they decide to activate them
    • Software-based activation enables consumers to customize their devices according to their preferences creating a personalized and user-centric experience
