APTX making an new deal with Apple
The Irish Times reports that Belfast firm APTX has taken a major step forward in getting its audio technology into mainstream products, following a new deal with Apple. The firm has developed technology that makes Bluetooth usable for high-fidelity audio. The firm’s technology streams high-quality stereo sound over Bluetooth wireless connections from devices such as laptops, mobile phones and portable music players. The compression and decompression algorithm, known as a codec, was used in Apple’s Mac Mini, which was unveiled last month.
