Our latest example is Harman Kardon launching its new Citation Series of wireless speakers. The Citation Bar, Sub, Tower, and Surround products are powered with Summit Wireless’ WiSA™-certified technology that delivers immersive sound with best-in-class low-latency and multi-channel speaker synchronization. Further, adoption of the WiSA (Wireless Speaker and Audio Association) global interoperability standard is expanding with new members, such as Eastech and Sound United, which comprises the Denon®, Marantz®, Polk Audio, Classé, Definitive Technology, Polk BOOM, HEOS®, and Boston Acoustics brands. Summit Wireless and our customers plan to showcase and launch WiSA-ready products, including speakers for game consoles and TVs, at CES, which takes place in Las Vegas, January 2019. We believe the growing WiSA membership and the accelerating Summit Wireless integration by more leading brands will create significant long-term revenue growth opportunities,” concluded Moyer.
