CSR today announced that Telechips' Wi-Fi enabled digital photo
frame platform features wireless connectivity using CSR's UniFi
single-chip Wi-Fi technology. UniFi will provide users with the
capability to send their favourite photos directly to an 8-inch LCD
display and also to connect via Wi-Fi access points to provide
wireless streaming of internet radio. The platform will drastically
reduce the time to market for ODMs and will be available by the end of
January 2008.

Based around CSR's UniFi and the TCC8300 media processor from
Telechips, the platform runs on the most common operating system for
multimedia devices, making it easy for customers to integrate and use.
CSR's UniFi is the lowest power Wi-Fi solution in the market and
features an exceptionally small chip scale package (CSP) that measures
just 5.8 x 6.4mm. The chip architecture, combined with the lack of
external components required, ensures that CSR's UniFi provides a low
bill of materials and superior Wi-Fi performance.

Telechips' platform will use CSR's UniFi to allow users to stream
internet radio via Wi-Fi and supports music subscription services such
as Rhapsody, ShoutCast, WM Audio and vTuner, providing access to
thousands of songs via live broadcast or on demand access. Users will
be able to display images trapped on their memory card or communicate
via Wi-Fi with Flickr and other photo sharing websites such as Picasa
to view online photo albums. The platform will also support RSS feeds
from sources including Yahoo, MSN, CNN, BBC as well as displaying
currency rates and traffic information.

Tracy Hopkins, Vice President of CSR's Consumer Business Unit,
commented, "Wi-Fi enabled digital photo frames based on this platform
use CSR's UniFi technology to deliver the highest performance and
functionality not only for the photo frame function but also to
provide high quality streaming internet radio." Hopkins continued, "It
is clear that the market for Wi-Fi enabled devices is growing rapidly
and our collaboration with Telechips will enable ODMs to deliver high
quality multi functional devices in minimal time to market."

Minho Seo, CEO of Telechips, commented, "Increased functionality
remains a key differentiator for many of our customers and wireless
connectivity is becoming a must have. Our partnership with CSR has
allowed us to develop a platform that delivers a best in class Wi-Fi
connection that will allow our customers to create extremely desirable
products quickly and at a lower cost."
