Agere Systems detailed today its new advanced system-on-a-chip (SoC) chip set for Sirius Satellite Radio manufacturers. This new Agere SoC will be incorporated into SIRIUS Satellite Radio receivers that are used in automotive, home, portable and navigation applications - scheduled for delivery to consumers next year.
Agere says its new chip set will be smaller in size as well as have new features, lower power consumption, improved audio performance and other fun enhancements.
That's all fine and dandy, but that's just all press release mumbo-jumbo. The fact that Agere filed for a Satellite Radio over WiFi patent is more interest to me and that this press release comes on the tails of the Zing-powered SIRIUS device being unveiled is just much more than sheer coincidence.
