As chips become smaller and more powerful, the wireless audio market continues to grow rapidly. According to MarketsandMarkets, the wireless audio industry is expected to reach USD 54.07 billion by 2022, with a CAGR of 23.2% between 2016 and 2022. High-performance, low-power wireless and Bluetooth / Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) solutions have become a key driver of wireless audio development, and also provide key technologies for enterprises to develop interconnected audio solutions. These solutions meet high resolution The throughput and coverage required for wireless products also integrate the long-life batteries consumers expect from portable devices. Multi-channel and multi-room wireless audio solutions are two key trends that are driving consumers to increasingly adopt wireless audio. However, in order for consumers to be able to listen to their favorite music smoothly in their own homes, there are still some key technical problems that need to be solved that involve coverage and synchronization. Marvell's latest Avastar® wireless connectivity solution completely solves the limitation of coverage of many home and enterprise audio applications. Marvell's high-performance and low-power Avastar combination products use dynamic multi-hop relay (DMHR) technology, which can connect up to 15 devices in a daisy chain. In a typical home environment, the coverage of traditional Wi-Fi networks expands 15 times, from 40 meters to nearly 600 meters. In addition, Marvell has other exciting features, such as connecting up to 31 clients to a speaker or sound bar system as a soft access point.

Combining Marvell's advanced Wi-Fi technology, supporting the 802.11mc standard and the hardware timestamp synchronization algorithm developed by our partners, Avastar provides the best-in-class intelligent connection solution. Another key development trend in the wireless audio space is the emergence of voice-assisted products such as Amazon Echo and Google Home. Marvell is working closely with all voice-assisted auxiliary support systems to provide cutting-edge technical support for these new products. From portable speakers to advanced sound bar systems, Marvell's advanced wireless technology is built into many of the most popular audio products on the market today.
