Broadcom Combines Bluetooth And FM Transceiver

Broadcom’s BCM2049 chip is built on a 65 nanometer technology, and will be able to combine Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and an FM transceiver all into one single place. Such a chip would be welcome in music-oriented phones, though its usage may not be limited to just music phones. The chip also features SmartAudio voice processing, Bluetooth audio streaming and an FM transmit function, though I f you were planning to use a FM transmit function in the city or some congested place, you might run into a problem or two.
