Bestechnic integrates market leading
Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi 6 IP together with Ceva-Waves Bluetooth Dual Mode
IP in low power silicon products targeting smart wearables, smart
home and smart audio applications
LAS
VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ceva,
Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of silicon and software
IP that enables Smart Edge devices to connect, sense and infer data
more reliably and efficiently, today announced that Bestechnic, a
global leader in the design and development of wireless ultra-low
power computing SoCs for the advanced smart audio, smart wearables,
wireless connectivity and smart home markets, has extended its
long-term partnership with Ceva to integrate Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi 6
and Bluetooth dual-mode IP platforms in new Bluetooth/Wi-Fi
combo products, including the BES2610 and BES2800 families.
Bestechnic has shipped more than 1 billion smart audio SoCs powered
by Ceva's Bluetooth Dual Mode IP to date, and is one of the world's
leading suppliers of smart audio SoCs for TWS earbuds, headsets,
smart glasses, smartwatches and smart speakers.
ABI Research forecasts that Wi-Fi 6 shipments will approach 2.7
billion units annually by 2027. This growth is fueled by the
adoption of Wi-Fi 6 in various devices, including smart audio
products like TWS earbuds, smart speakers, and other wearables.
Wi-Fi 6 is designed to provide high efficiency and performance
while significantly reducing power consumption compared to previous
generations of Wi-Fi. This makes it ideal for battery-powered IoT
devices such as wearables and speakers where it complements
Bluetooth audio functionality, offering high throughput and low
latency which is critical for high-definition audio streaming and
increasingly required for real-time data processing associated with
embedded AI.
Bestechnic has deployed the Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi 6 IP alongside the
Ceva-Waves Bluetooth Dual Mode IP in its recently introduced combo
families of ultra-low power Bluetooth/Wi-Fi chips. The
platforms incorporate a dual-mode Bluetooth 5.4 subsystem for
both Bluetooth classic and LE audio, and a Wi-Fi 6 subsystem for
high-throughput wireless connectivity and lossless audio. The
highly integrated solution with BES optimized ultra-low power
system, is designed to provide Bluetooth level power consumption
for a Wi-Fi enabled device. For example, the current of 2.4GHz
Wi-Fi RX is as low as 14mA, making it ideal for battery powered
wearable devices.
"Our long-standing partnership with Ceva has been instrumental
in our success, and we are excited to incorporate their Wi-Fi 6 IP
into our newest combo device families," said Zhao Guoguang, General
Manager, Bestechnic. "This collaboration allows us to offer our
customers cutting-edge wireless connectivity solutions that exceed
the demands for high-definition audio streaming and other ultra-low
power wearable applications such as smartwatches and smart
glasses."
"Bestechnic's integration of our Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Dual Mode
IP in their combo devices showcases the exceptional value of our
comprehensive wireless connectivity portfolio in addressing
emerging trends and applications," said Tal
Shalev, Vice President and General Manager, Wireless IoT
Business Unit at Ceva. "Embedded AI is rapidly making its way into
every device around us, and seamless connectivity is the foundation
of these devices. With Wi-Fi 6 providing robust data transmission
that complements Bluetooth for streaming audio applications, our
ability to deliver unmatched performance and power efficiency with
our wireless connectivity IPs empowers Bestechnic to set a new
benchmark for smart audio devices."
