SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WISA), a leading provider of immersive, wireless sound technology for intelligent devices and next-generation home entertainment systems and founding member of the WiSA Association, provided an update for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

�Significant WiSA additions, such as SKYWORTH; tremendous growth in consumer interest; the launch of our new, direct-to-consumer marketing program - the WiSA Wave; and increased financial strength, position the company for second half 2020 growth,� said Brett Moyer, CEO of Summit Wireless. �WiSA�s digital audience is growing rapidly, and we expect wisaassociation.org web traffic to reach 250,000 visitors by Black Friday/Cyber Monday in November this year. Each visitor represents a high-value, self-selected consumer seamlessly transitioning to our members� unique landing page via the cost-effective, WiSA Wave marketing program. Capitalizing on current trends, WiSA Wave provides our members with customized campaigns and access to the association�s robust consumer database and analytics.

�Further, we are increasing our momentum in TV display, leveraging our leadership in the premium 8K TV category. Our recent WiSA member SKYWORTH, the largest producer of TV products in China, expects to announce its first product this month. And, we expect more TV display partners in the first half of 2021. Our speaker design pipeline is on track, and in-market projects are projected to increase over 3 times, to 18+ in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the same period last year. Our universal transmitter with Dolby Atmos^� capabilities is progressing as planned toward its pre-holiday launch, which will target approximately 800 million smart TVs enabled with HDMI ARC capabilities. These endeavors are enabled by our improved financial flexibility, that we believe will drive growth in the second half of 2020 and first half of 2021.�
