Dialog Semiconductor Plc.: DIALOG SEMICONDUCTOR EXTENDS BLUETOOTH(R) SUCCESS INTO GROWING RANGE OF SMART HOME - HUMAN INTERFACE DEVICES - Seite 2

President and General Manager, Connectivity, Automotive & Industrial
Business Group at Dialog. "With the continuing success of the SmartBond
DA14580, we have shown that we are ideally positioned to take advantage of
the tremendous growth of Bluetooth Smart applications for the HID market,
which helps to validate the company's diversification strategy."

"Through our partnership with Dialog, SMK is positioned to offer the
Digital Television market remote control solutions utilizing the most
advanced wireless technologies in the industry," added Patrick Delanoeije,
Vice President, SMK Europe. "Enabled by these technologies, SMK remotes
offer exciting new user interface options including Voice Command,
Gesture-Sensing and Pointing-Enabled models, many of which will be
demonstrated at IBC2014 in Amsterdam this week."

"SMK produces 70 million remote controls annually," continued Mr.
Delanoeije. "Supported by eight ISO factories, thirty sales offices and
dedicated R&D sites across Europe, North and South America as well as Asia,
SMK is uniquely positioned to supply solutions that reduce development time
and costs, while enriching subscriber engagement with new digital
television products and services."

Dialog's SmartBond is recognized for its ease of use due to a highly
integrated solution requiring fewer external components than any other
Bluetooth Smart solution available today while enabling fully hosted
applications without an external microcontroller. With support for the
latest Bluetooth 4.1 specification, designers are empowered to develop
pioneering applications targeting an accelerating range of markets
including HID, Wellness & Fitness Wearables, Medical, Proximity and Smart
Home. With world-leading low power consumption, SmartBond is also perfectly
positioned to enable the billions of battery-powered Internet of Things
devices, without the need for compromise in product design.
