ARC Sound Advanced Subsystem allows Oki to create a robust, proprietary silicon platform, which will help them expand market share in the rapidly growing advanced in-car audio and other markets.
"We are pleased to have Oki Electric as the first announced licensee for the new ARC Sound Advanced Subsystem", said Derek Meyer, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ARC International.
"The ARC Sound Advanced Subsystem enables Oki to reduce its end customer's bill of materials by replacing a stand-alone DSP with the Oki-designed ASSP.
Oki benefits by creating an ARC-based ASSP with more functionality and less power consumption than could be obtained using a fixed architecture device".
