In addition to minimising the cost and size of the components required, CSR's simple two-chip design, combined with many special power conservation features built into UniFi Wi-Fi silicon, makes portable battery-powered radio applications highly practical. It also makes it easy to add the function into other portable products such as PMPs/MP3 players. For instance, CSR's example implementation of a RadioPro portable radio has an active operation life of 25 hours from a 1500 mAh battery.
A battery life breakthrough
Many current internet radios will only work for a few hours from a large battery. The secret behind the incredible lifetime of CSR's RadioPro is the unique power conservation features that have been built into the Wi-Fi chip: UniFi-1. Right from the very start of the design of this device, the architecture has been optimised for use in battery powered applications, with separate power domains and control features that ensure that the chip, or parts of the chip required for operations, only remain active for the minimum time necessary.
RadioPro provides the first highly practical solution for portable internet radios, assuring your users of a quality experience.
