HiWave and RS Components announce worldwide distribution
agreement for energy-efficient audio and haptic touch
components
CAMBRIDGE & OXFORD, UK, 2 July, 2012 - HiWave Technologies
(LSE:HIW), a provider of high efficiency audio amplifier ICs, full
frequency range speaker drivers and bending-wave haptic touch
devices, and RS Components (RS), the trading brand of
Electrocomponents plc (LSE:ECM), the world's leading high service
distributor of electronics and maintenance products, have jointly
announced a worldwide distribution agreement.
Under the terms of the agreement, RS will stock HiWave's range
of audio exciters, haptic touch feedback actuators, balanced mode
radiator (BMR) speaker drivers and energy efficient amplifier
modules. Stock availability is anticipated in August 2012 for
customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa; this will
subsequently be extended to the rest of the world.
Caroline O'Brien, Chief Commercial Officer at HiWave said:
"Strong distribution partnerships are a key part of HiWave's growth
strategy. We were particularly impressed by RS' DesignSpark PCB
design software and online community, which will help us to further
extend our reach to OEMs and innovators globally."
Fred Knowles, Head of Product Management - Electronics at RS
Components said: "HiWave is renowned for its innovative technology,
which is transforming the design of many industrial and consumer
electronic products. By partnering with HiWave we are underlining
our commitment to supply our engineering community with advanced
technologies and components that help them differentiate their
designs."
HiWave is a leader in bending-wave haptic feedback devices,
which accurately simulate the feeling of a mechanical button press,
can deliver the response to anywhere on a panel or touch screen or
be programmed to give a specific response at a specific set of
co-ordinates. The same devices can deliver an audio response from a
flat panel to replace the need for additional loud speakers.
HiWave's audio components include amplifier ICs that consume one
twentieth the power of comparable topologies, enabling 2x15W
amplified speakers to be powered from a single USB port, or
wireless speakers that run for 40 hours from a single AA battery.
The company's patented BMR speaker drivers are exceptionally
compact units that deliver full frequency audio over a wide
distribution angle.
