Business Description

Summit Wireless Technologies (“Summit” or the “Company”) believes that the future of audio technology is in wireless devices and that they are well positioned to deliver best-in-class immersive wireless sound technology for intelligent devices and next generation home entertainment systems. Summit currently sell modules which wirelessly transmit and receive audio directly to speakers. Additionally, they plan to license their proprietary software technology, currently embedded in their wireless modules, to other companies who can then embed the technology into other Wi-Fi enabled smart devices. The segment of the wireless audio market that Summit focuses on is comprised of scalable multichannel solutions with levels of latency that are low enough to synchronize with video. The term multichannel refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to reconstruct a sound field using multiple speakers.

WiSA Association – Building a Standard of Quality

The WiSA Association (owned by Summit Wireless), which is an association comprised of brands, manufacturers, and influencers within the consumer electronics industry, all of which agree that a standardized method of interoperability between wireless audio components should exist, and most of which believe that products should be brought to market with this goal in mind. The WiSA Association creates, maintains and manages specifications for wireless interoperability that are available to all association members. For products with a WiSA Association certification, the WiSA Association also creates, maintains and manages testing criteria and specifications for all products to be listed, marketed and sold. WiSA-certification is a “stamp of approval” certifying that a product is interoperable with other products in the WiSA ecosystem and has passed several high-performance tests ensuring interoperability and wireless performance standards are met. As the sole owner of WiSA, LLC, we certify all WiSA Association products. LG Electronics introduced two premium model lines, OLED and Nanocell TVs, as WiSA ReadyTM TVs in 2019 and has continued the feature in their 2020 TVs. Hisense Group Company Limited and Skyworth Group Limited (“Skyworth”) also each recently announced that their TVs would be WiSA ReadyTM as well. The Company expects one or two additional TV brands to be marketing WiSA projects during the remainder of 2021.
