Ericsson unveils world's first Cordless Internet Radio


The Ericsson Cordless Internet Radio H100 is the first cordless device
of its kind and represents a revolutionary step in bringing Internet
audio content wirelessly into the home. Utilizing Bluetoothtm
technology, the Cordless Internet Radio allows access to thousands of
Internet radio stations without the use of a computer. Ericsson and The
MTVi Group have entered into a joint development partnership to bring
unique interactive content and services to the consumer.
 

Shortcut buttons on the radio let users browse, select stations, and
save favorites. Users can also create their own music archive and access
sound files from the Internet or from a computer. Built-in stereo
speakers offer superb integrated sound quality, while the product can
also be used with headphones or an in-home stereo system.
 
The Cordless Internet Radio is battery powered and can be placed
anywhere in the home, up to 100 meters from a Bluetooth access point
that has broadband Internet connection. The Internet Radio can also be
connected via an Ethernet cable to a broadband modem.
 
"Bringing the variety and depth of the Internet into the home through
simple, easy-to-use products is a crucial part of Ericsson's strategy,"
said Lars Lindberg, Vice President and General Manager, Ericsson Home
Communications. "Increasingly, the way we connect to the Internet in the
home will not just be from a computer but from a range of small to
medium sized products."
 
Sleekly designed, the Internet Radio also features a clock that wakes the user
with an alarm signal, a selected radio station or a specific sound file.
 
Multimedia partnership
Ericsson Cordless Internet Radio is a result of a joint cooperation
between Ericsson and The MTVi Group. The companies will explore strategic
partnership opportunities regarding marketing, co-branding, distribution and
sales of the product.
 
"The Cordless Internet Radio will provide yet another way for listeners
to tune into MTVi's global entertainment content," said Damian Manning,
Vice President, Digital Media, The MTVi Group.
 
Ericsson's initiative with the MTVi Group is demonstrative of its ongoing
commitment to entertainment technology. Ericsson is dedicated to combining its
world-leading products with the most compelling, innovative content and
applications to create the next generation of home communications services.
 
The Cordless Internet Radio will become available toward the end of this
year in the US and shortly after in Europe.
 
Ericsson is the leading communications supplier, combining innovation in
mobility and Internet in creating the new era of mobile Internet.  Ericsson
provides total solutions covering everything from systems and applications to
mobile phones and other communications tools. With more than 100,000 employees
in 140 countries, Ericsson simplifies communications for customers all over the
