During Monday’s current trade, QUALCOMM, Inc (NASDAQ:QCOM)’s shares dropped -0.86%, to $70.48.
Qualcomm Connected Experiences, Inc., a partner of Qualcomm Incorporated (QCOM) has declared major feature additions to the Qualcomm® AllPlay™ smart media platform counting Bluetooth® to Wi-Fi re-streaming, custom audio settings and optimized synchronization. Additionally, Hitachi America, Ltd. recently declared the launch of three Wi-Fi speakers powered by AllPlay.
AllPlay provides consumers with multiple streaming options, counting a new feature to combine both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi whole home streaming. Now, all local or cloud-based music on a consumer’s smartphone can be streamed to any Bluetooth-compatible AllPlay speaker and then re-streamed over Wi-Fi to multiple AllPlay speakers, all in synch. This allows simple wireless connectivity to individual speakers or an entire home audio system over the user’s existing home Wi-Fi network. This functionality provides a distinct advantage over Bluetooth-only speakers, which are limited to one-to-one streaming.
The Hitachi Wi-Fi speakers offer seamless streaming of high-quality local and cloud-based audio content – with the high performance and versatility of Wi-Fi and the convenience of Bluetooth. They will be accessible nationwide at a US retailer later this month at three affordable price points.
“Our adoption of the Qualcomm AllPlay platform for our networked audio portfolio further showcases our commitment to bringing consumers products with truly exceptional sound quality, reliability and ease-of-use in the wireless whole-home audio category,” said Bill Whalen, Director Product Development, Hitachi America, Ltd., Digital Media Division. “We’re dedicated to providing consumers with easy to use, high-quality audio products – and the AllPlay platform allows us to do just that.”
“The range and capacity of Wi-Fi coupled with the ubiquity of Bluetooth is a game-changing combination for manufacturers and consumers alike,” said Sy Choudhury, senior director of product administration, Qualcomm Connected Experiences, Inc. “AllPlay device manufacturers like Hitachi and Monster, which introduced its SoundStage line of AllPlay-powered speakers at Best Buy last month, can now offer their customers more connectivity options and access to myriad streaming services throughout their home with this new capability.”
QUALCOMM Incorporated designs, develops, manufactures, and markets digital communications products and services in China, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United States. The company operates through three segments: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT), Qualcomm Technology Licensing (QTL), and Qualcomm Planned Initiatives (QSI). The QCT segment develops and supplies integrated circuits and system software based on code division multiple access (CDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), and other technologies for use in voice and data communications, networking, application processing, multimedia, and global positioning system products.
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:APC)’s shares dwindled -0.72% to $84.10, during the current trading session Monday’s.
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (APC), on behalf of the co-venturers in Mozambique’s Offshore Area 1, and after a competitive FEED (front-end engineering and design) process, today announced the selection of a consortium consisting of CB&I, Chiyoda Corporation and Saipem (CCS JV) for the initial development of the onshore LNG park in Mozambique.
“Selecting CCS JV for the development of the onshore Mozambique LNG park is a noteworthystep toward reaching FID (Final Investment Decision) and demonstrates our continued commitment to advancing this important project toward first cargoes,” said Anadarko Chairman, President and CEO, Al Walker. “I am incredibly proud of our co-venture for all of the accomplishments achieved to date, counting securing more than 8 million tonnes per annum (MMTPA) in non-binding long-term off-take agreements, which are now progressing toward binding SPAs (Sales and Purchase Agreements), obtaining letters of intent from lenders for project financing at a very material level, and working with the newly elected Government to keep the project moving forward. We also congratulate the contractor group, CCS JV, on its selection, and look forward to working with the Offshore Area 1 co-venturers to submit a Plan of Development in the coming months for the Government’s consideration.”
The scope of the work for the onshore LNG park comprises two LNG trains, each with capacity of 6 MMTPA, which is an enhance of 1 MMTPA per train over the original plan, while maintaining an estimated cost that is compriseent with the co-venturers’ original projections. The scope also comprises two LNG storage tanks, each with capacity of 180,000 cubic meters, condensate storage, multi-berth marine jetty and associated utilities and infrastructure. The selection of CCS JV is subject to negotiation and entry into a definitive agreement preceding to taking FID.
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation engages in the exploration, development, production, and marketing of oil and gas properties. It operates through three segments: Oil and Gas Exploration and Production; Midstream; and Marketing. The Oil and Gas Exploration and Production segment explores for and produces natural gas, oil, condensate, and natural gas liquids (NGLs).
