Accton Technology (TAIEX: 2345) is proud to announce the availability of its Internet radio modules, integrating WiFi, Ethernet, and multimedia capabilities into one module. This enables radio and audio equipment manufacturers to upgrade their devices to support multimedia and Internet radio functions an electronic BOM cost approaching USD15 (note) per module.
Samuel Chang, Accton's Vice President said, "With 20 years of experience working with ODM customers for networking solutions, Accton has the capability to provide the integrated end-to-end solutions.
