New DAB module: power consumption slashed, battery life transformed

October 13, 2014

Hong Kong Electronics Fair, 13^th October 2014 – Frontier Silicon, the world’s leading supplier of digital radio and connected audio technology, showcases Verona 2, its new power-efficient DAB solution, at the autumn edition of HKEF.

Verona 2, with power consumption of 100mW (50% lower than its predecessor and competitors), revolutionises the battery life of digital radio devices and delivers game-changing benefits for manufacturers and end-users.

This step-change in power efficiency means the need to re-charge or replace batteries is greatly reduced. Conversely, the same battery life can now be delivered by smaller, lower cost batteries.
