Unwired Technology Turns Up The Volume On Home Theater With WhiteFire Wireless Speakers! (11/12/2003)

Critically-Acclaimed, Cutting-Edge Audio System for Mobile Entertainment to Surround the Home With Unsurpassed Sound

Unwired Technology LLC, the world's largest supplier of wireless headphones to the fast-growing mobile theater market, is connecting its red-hot WhiteFire(tm) format to a debut line of wireless speakers for home theater use. Featuring the critically-acclaimed, cutting-edge WhiteFire technology, the new speakers will provide uncompressed digital sound for astute audio entertainment buffs everywhere. The new WhiteFire speakers will be unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show, January 8-11, 2004.

Committed to further extending the market for its unrivaled proprietary technology, for the first time, Unwired will offer speaker manufacturers the exciting opportunity to license WhiteFire's digital technology for use in their own branded offerings.

"Unwired's WhiteFire system is already widely recognized for its unparalleled sound quality and the freedom it affords consumers to take full advantage of all the entertainment options available today," said Lawrence Richenstein, Unwired Technology President. "Our plans for WhiteFire technology are wide-ranging and, today, we are thrilled to translate the WhiteFire format for the digital transmission of audio to other key entertainment venues beyond the mobile arena."

The crisp, clear sound of WhiteFire wireless speakers is delivered with latency (delay) of only 7 milliseconds, while the system's Infrared (IR) 16-bit synchronous uncompressed wireless delivery method ensures the highest possible level of sound quality.

This marks the first time that Unwired's WhiteFire digital audio entertainment system, initially introduced for the mobile entertainment market, will appear in the home.

Because IR is line-of-sight technology, it is especially applicable for automobiles as well as homes and buildings where separate broadcasts are desired in a single enclosed area. WhiteFire code can also be transmitted via well-known radio frequency formats such as IEEE 802.11b. Additional applications for the new technology include museums, movie theaters and amusement parks, among other suitable venues.

Recently awarded 31/2 out of four stars by USA Today ("Wave Bye to Contentious Road Trips") and featured in the "Circuits" section of The New York Times ("No Need for Arguments Over Whose Music to Play"), the WhiteFire system for mobile entertainment delivers up to four stereo audio channels simultaneously, allowing each passenger to select his/her own audio from a range of on-board entertainment options such as DVD players, CDs, videogames, radios and other devices.
