International Classification:

H04R 2500
H04B 108

US Classification:

381205

Abstract:

A radio (100) includes an improved speaker porting apparatus which minimizes the occurrence of water intrusion. A keypad membrane (106) has an opening (126) through its front and back surfaces and includes tunneled speaker porting (134) formed within the back surface (122) to direct audio into the opening (126). A circuit board (108) fits onto the back surface (122) of the keypad membrane (106), the circuit board (108) includes speaker porting holes (128) divided into first and second halves (130, 132). The first half of the speaker porting holes (130) align with the opening (126) of the keypad membrane (106) while the second half of the speaker porting holes (132) align with the tunneled speaker porting (134) of the keypad membrane (106). A speaker cone (138) covers the first and second halves of the speaker porting holes (130, 132).

Abstract:

A radio tag comprising a first radio and a second radio and a method for providing a communications service are disclosed. For example, the method comprises entering, by a processor of the radio tag, an active state of the radio tag and activating the second radio when a wake-up signal is received, where the second radio draws power from a power source, transmitting, by the processor of the radio tag, data to a device or receiving the data from the device when the radio tag is in the active state, and deactivating, by the processor of the radio tag, the second radio and entering an idle state when the wake-up signal is no longer being received, where only the first radio draws power from the power source for listening for the wake-up signal in the idle state.
