Set-top Box Segment Expected to Produce Revenue
in 2024
WiSA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WISA), a leading innovator in
wireless audio technology for intelligent devices and
next-generation home entertainment systems, is poised to enter the
set-top box market with multiple implementations of its WiSA E
software expected in the market in 2024. Traditional set-top boxes
as well as streaming media devices are typically hesitant to add
multichannel audio functionality due to the additional cost of the
required hardware to support the feature. WiSA E’s software
transmitter allows manufacturers to load wireless multichannel
audio functionality on the production line or on demand as a field
upgrade to existing platforms at a nominal cost. The end consumer
has the option to activate the software at any time.
"Set-top boxes and other streaming media devices are
well-positioned to take advantage of embedded multichannel audio
software,” said Tony Parker, vice president of technical marketing
and strategy. “WiSA E was designed to work with existing processors
and Wi-Fi hardware. As a result, embedding WiSA E functionality
does not increase the BOM cost in the same way additional
multichannel hardware has in the past. We anticipate many more
streaming media devices will want to take advantage of this
cost-effective model for offering immersive multichannel audio to
their consumers.”
Using a software approach to enable wireless multichannel audio
features in streaming media devices offers multiple advantage to
both manufacturer and consumer:
- Advantages for the manufacturer:
- Access to functionality with no additional hardware costs
- Extended product lifespan – software updates keep devices
current and competitive
- Advantages for the consumer
- Consumers only pay for the features they choose when they
decide to activate them
- Software-based activation enables consumers to customize their
devices according to their preferences creating a personalized and
user-centric experience

functionality to streaming media devices.
