March 20, 2019

SAN JOSE, CALIF. (March 19, 2019) –

WiSA® LLC, the Wireless Speaker and Audio Association comprised of leading consumer electronics brands founded by Summit Wireless Technologies (NASDAQ: WISA), today announces the addition of five new members. The strong and growing list of WiSA members, now with more than 50 international brands represented, is largely driven by the Association’s WiSA Ready* platform. These new members will help further the adoption and availability of the easiest immersive home entertainment experience for consumers around the globe.

As WiSA members, these companies will have access to the WiSA specification, technical support, testing protocols and additional partners to bring simple, interoperable, wireless home entertainment products to market.

“Our newest members bring decades of audio experience and product development capabilities across a wide variety of product types, adding incredible versatility and scalability to our member roster,” said Tony Ostrom, president of WiSA. “Our recent explosive growth in members is a testament to the heightened marketplace demand of high-definition wireless audio, and to the incredible success of our WiSA Ready certification that simplifies the creation of unparalleled audio experiences. We look forward to working with our new members to further the development of innovative products that promote today’s worldwide movement in wireless home entertainment.”

The WiSA Association and its members are committed to revolutionizing the home entertainment experience by delivering immersive, uncompressed, high-definition, multichannel sound through the universal standards established and certified by the WiSA Association.

In support of its mission, the Association recently launched the new WiSA Ready certification, which clearly identifies entertainment sources – such as LG TVs, Xboxes, and Windows 10 Gaming PCs – that are equipped to deliver up to eight channels of high-definition wireless audio to WiSA Certified speakers when connected with a WiSA USB transmitter. This new program simplifies consumer set-up and reduces costs by replacing AV receivers with a low-cost USB accessory.
