WT32i is an audio specific
Bluetooth
3.0
module with excellent radio frequency
performance and enhanced audio features,
enabling a best in class
Bluetooth
audio
experience.
In
addition
to
a
certified
Bluetooth
radio and software stack,
WT32i also contains a DSP, stereo audio
codec, and battery charger making it ideal
for fixed and portable audio applications.
WT32i
includes
Bluegiga's
iWRAP6
Bluetooth
stack software which
implements A2DP, AVRCP v.1.5 profiles
and supports
aptX
®
and AAC audio codecs
for stereo audio applications. For hands-free
applications
iWRAP6
software
also
supports HFP v.1.6, HSP, MAP and
PBAP and CVC
®
echo cancellation software.
For data communications to Android and
iOS
applications
iWRAP6
also
implements
Bluetooth
Serial Port Profile
(SPP) and Apple iAP profiles. WT32i is an
ideal solution for developers who want to
quickly integrate the latest
Bluetooth
audio
technologies without the time and costs
typically involved with a
Bluetooth
audio
chipset design.
APPLICATIONS:
•
•
•
•
Stereo speakers and sound bars
Hi-Fi devices
Hands-free kits
Stereo headsets
