HDT Bluetooth: the Next Step in High Quality Audio Streaming

Wireless audio (wireless earbuds, headphones and speakers) introduced us to a completely new level of listening convenience and freedom, prompting the rapid growth we are already seeing in this consumer segment (30% CAGR for wireless earbuds and 14% for wireless headphones). Now the race is on to further improve audio quality and capability in these devices.

The Rise of Physical AI: When Intelligence Enters the Real World

Artificial Intelligence has largely lived in the digital realm, analyzing text, images, speech, and data streams inside servers, clouds, and devices. A new phase is now emerging: Physical AI. Physical AI extends intelligence beyond perception and reasoning into action, enabling machines to sense, decide, and interact with the physical world in real-time.

Physical AI at the Edge: A New Chapter in Device Intelligence

Ceva’s 2025 Technology Symposium series, held in Shanghai, Hsinchu and Herzliya , brought together a global community of engineers, product leaders, and ecosystem partners. Each location had its own flavor, but a single theme ran through every discussion: how to bring meaningful intelligence to the edge of every device.

UWB, Digital Keys, and the Quest for Greater Range

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology is rapidly becoming a household name, and for good reason. This isn’t just another wireless standard, it’s a game-changer for how we interact with the world around us.
