SanDisk licenses Aerielle wireless technology

SanDisk has licensed Aerielle Inc.'s patented wireless stereo FM transmitter technology. SanDisk first deployed the Aerielle Enabled technology in a line of accessory products for its recently introduced Sansa digital music player to address the rapidly growing user demand for quality wireless audio.

The licensing of Aerielle's wireless stereo FM technology enables SanDisk's accessory product offerings to enhance consumers' mobile listening experience.

Aerielle Enabled products allow users to listen to music and other files played on MP3, CD and DVD players through any FM receiver, providing superior sound quality that enhances the listening experience. Aerielle Enabled means Simply Better Sound -- unparalleled audio fidelity that produces crisper highs and deeper lows through better noise reduction technology, high-quality stereo separation, and superior total harmonic distortion performance.
