Frontier Silicon, the leading supplier of digital radio and internet audio solutions announces the launch of Venus 2i-BT bringing Bluetooth music streaming to DAB/DAB+ radios.

The addition of Bluetooth connectivity to the Frontier DAB platform develops the widely adopted Venus 2i platform into a fully featured solution for wireless docking systems with the benefit of digital and FM radio as an additional audio source.
