Uncompressed audio streaming.

Is there any Nordic chip that can transmit/receive low latency uncompressed audio over 2.4ghz? 

Thank you

  • Hi 

    That you would have to ask them, as I don't know how they implemented their product (and I wouldn't be allowed to share these details if I did know) 

    In general it's worth mentioning that you can use a PA/LNA solution with our devices in order to improve the link budget and range. That could help you reach the required 100m range, also in situations where you have a lot of interference, or something blocking the signal. 
    The drawback of adding a PA/LNA is added current consumption, added hardware complexity and added BOM cost. 

    Also, when sending at more than 1Mbps data rate you have to expect data loss, like I mentioned earlier. So while it is technically possible, you need some mechanism to handle the packet loss. Otherwise you will get very jarring, noticeable clicks in the audio each time a packet is lost. 

    Finally, you might want to consider if there is some compression available that can reduce the datarate without adding a lot of latency and/or noticeable reduction in audio quality. 

    Best regards
