“Libre Wireless is excited to be collaborating with Skyworks for audio streaming, smart voice, and Internet of Things applications,” says Hooman Kashef, CEO of Libre Wireless. “By utilizing Skyworks’ devices, we can offer one of the broadest and most advanced product portfolios to deliver the lowest power, smallest size and highest performance solutions that address the growing needs of the wireless audio and connected home market.”

According to research from IHS Technology, the popularity of mobile devices and changing consumer habits in media consumption are not only increasing demand for wirelessly connected audio devices, but also rapidly altering the home audio landscape. Annual shipments of connected audio products, including wireless speakers, wireless soundbars, and connected A/V receivers, are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 88 percent from 1.5 million units in 2010 to nearly 66 million units in 2018.
