BoneTone HDClear chip delivers high-quality voice communications in noisy environments

2011 International CES, ROSH-HA’AYN, ISRAEL: BoneTone Communications Ltd, a leading developer of innovative chip solutions for the mobile device industry, announced the launch of HDClear, the company’s new chip solution for Bluetooth, wired, cordless (DECT) headsets and mobile and cordless phones.

This next-generation chip leverages BoneTone Communications' unique signal processing technology, which deploys a combination of off-the-shelf standard and bone conduction acoustic components and an in-depth understanding of the propagation of acoustic waves.

HDClear raises the bar on mobile device sound quality. Mobile device headset users benefit from the chip’s high-quality, uninterrupted voice communications in any noisy environment. HDClear provides complete user privacy, as user locations are not disclosed by background noise, which is either fully eliminated, or alternatively, can be replaced with any preferred background sound.

HDClear offers seamless integration with Bluetooth and cordless baseband processors, as well as with Smartphone processors, while a stand-alone version, HDClear-S, is available for wired headsets. The chip’s compact design is combined with a minimum of external passive components that require low power, making HDClear very cost-efficient.

HDClear chip samples and reference designs will be available in Q1 2011.
