UK wireless company CSR has announced platform support for the newly ratified HFP 1.6 Bluetooth profile. The Cambridge firm claims its BC6145 is the first mass market mono headset solution to do so.
Aimed at single microphone mono headsets, speakerphones, car kits and other mass market wireless audio accessories, the device utilises Wideband Speech – also known as hd voice – to support a speech spectrum of between 300Hz to 3.4kHz and 50Hz to 7kHz. It is designed to provide improved intelligibility, more accurate voice control of peripheral, better speech to text and a brighter audio quality.
"As well as hd voice, the BC6145 will support a highly compelling set of consumer centric features including A2DP music streaming, advanced intelligibility enhancements and extended talk time," said Anthony Murray, vp of the Audio and Consumer business unit at CSR. "With numerous mobile network operators moving to offer hd voice technology, subscribers making hands free calls using Bluetooth headsets and car kits incorporating the BC6145 should continue to derive all the compelling benefits that hd voice delivers."
