ASR's CEVA-powered wireless communication
chips serve largest IoT markets including wearables, smart home,
white goods and industrial
ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 2, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of
wireless connectivity and smart sensing technologies and
co-creation solutions, and ASR Microelectronics (ASR), a leading
wireless semiconductor company, announced today that shipments of
ASR wireless IoT chips powered by CEVA's IPs have surpassed 100
million units. This monumental milestone was achieved in less than
2 years since ASR's first CEVA-powered chips were introduced.
ASR, founded in 2015, is one of China's leading wireless semiconductors, and a
key contributor to the development and popularization of
China's internet of things. CEVA
and ASR have worked closely together since its inception, with ASR
leveraging CEVA's DSPs and wireless connectivity platforms to
accelerate their product development and achieve best-in-class
performance and power efficiency.
"Our broad portfolio of wireless products spanning short- and
long-range standards illustrates ASR's unique ability to meet the
connectivity requirements of wireless communication industry with
cost-efficient, secure and robust solutions, said Xikai Zhao, Vice
President, ASR Micro. "Reaching this
shipment milestone is a testament to the strong collaboration
between our companies and the essential role that CEVA's IP
fulfills in our product development."
"We applaud ASR Micro on their incredible success to date and
becoming one of China's most
important wireless semiconductor companies," said Tal Shalev, Vice President and General Manager
of the Wireless IoT Business Unit at CEVA. "ASR and CEVA share a
joint vision for seamless wireless connectivity and the role it
plays in the Internet of Everything. We look forward to continuing
this journey together and making 'everything connected' a
reality."
CEVA's RivieraWaves Bluetooth and Wi-Fi IP platforms provide
comprehensive solutions for the integration of Bluetooth and/or
Wi-Fi connectivity into any IC or SoC design. Each platform
consists of a hardware modem, baseband controller or MAC, plus a
feature-rich software protocol stack. A flexible radio interface
allows the platforms to be deployed with either RivieraWaves RF
(for Bluetooth) or various partners' RF IP (for Bluetooth or
Wi-Fi), enabling optimal selection of foundry and process node.
With more than 3 billion CEVA-powered Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices
shipped to date and dozens of licensees, the RivieraWaves Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi IPs are widely deployed in consumer, smart home,
industrial and IoT devices with many of the world's leading
semiconductors companies and OEMs. The CEVA-BX1 and CEVA-BX2
multipurpose IoT processors combine DSP and control processing in a
single instruction set architecture, eliminating the need for a
separate CPU core for upper layer stacks and system control. These
processors are ideal for cellular IoT baseband processing and
complementary workloads including voice, connectivity, positioning
and sensor fusion. For more information, visit
