The RCA Jet Stream is a new way to go wireless. According to RCA’s web site, “Jet Stream will deliver crystal-clear music from player to headphones wthout needing a hardwired connection.”
The technology behind this comes from Kleer, a Cupertino based company. Its technology allows for lossless CD-quality sound over wireless connections at ten times the battery life of comparable Bluetooth connections.
Cupertino, CA, January 7th, 2007 - Kleer (www.kleer.com) today announced that RCA has chosen Kleer’s patented Kleer Audio LP™ technology for use in its latest generation of wireless mp3 audio player. Using Kleer’s technology, RCA is able to provide consumers with the convenience of compact, wireless headphones, while maintaining CD-quality audio, and over 10 hours of battery life. A typical wireless solution used with cell phones would offer only one hour of battery life.
“One of the key features we can offer active consumers is the ability to ‘cut the cord’ by utilizing Kleer’s wireless technology,” said Dwight Sakuma, General Manager of Audio/Video for Thomson. “Now you can exercise and enjoy your favorite music without worrying about the cords that connect your headphones to the mp3 player – a true consumer benefit we’ll be promoting when the RCA Jet Stream ships later this spring. We immediately recognized Kleer as a technology that could meet our requirements, particularly in terms of audio quality, battery life, and immunity to interference.” Thomson is the owner of the RCA brand and the marketer of RCA Audio and Video products.
