STC becomes Wolfson’s Software Professional Services Partner

Symphony Teleca Corporation (STC) has announced that Wolfson Microelectronics has selected STC as a software professional services partner. Through this agreement, STC will be providing turnkey services for integration, porting and optimization of software features and audio solutions featured in Wolfson’s audio products, such as the WM8280 Audio Hub, for the consumer electronics and mobile device markets.

The partnership between Wolfson and STC enables software from Wolfson, Wolfson’s customers or other third-parties to be successfully ported onto Wolfson’s hardware platforms – such as the WM8280 Audio Hub solution with integrated audio digital signal processor (DSP) designed for smartphones, tablets and other portable audio devices – and helps to reduce the time-to-market. Wolfson’s audio solutions are platform agnostic, so can be used by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) across all application processor platforms.

“This is an outstanding opportunity for Symphony Teleca to work with a global leader in audio solutions for the rapidly-expanding consumer electronics market. Delivering next-generation, high-quality consumer audio experiences will help to further drive growth in the market. We are excited to play a role in shaping the future of the consumer market and to partner with an innovator such as Wolfson,” said Andrew Till, Senior Vice-President, Symphony Teleca.

STC is the latest company to join Wolfson Partner Programme and both companies will present and showcase next-generation, advanced audio technology and solutions at the 2014 International CES in Las Vegas to be held from January 7–10, 2014.
