Bandspeed
Inc.
Company Website
Bandspeed, Inc., a broadband technology company, delivers
transceiver solutions for reliably connecting the broadband edge. Its
proprietary signal processing systems for interference mitigation and signal
recovery facilitate broadband deployment and performance.
Bandspeed provides Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) technology that enables
Bluetooth devices to coexist with wireless LANs. Bandspeed's AFH technology has
been adopted by the IEEE 802.15.2-working group as the recommended approach for
Bluetooth coexistence with 802.11b wireless LANs. Working with Open
Interface, Bandspeed's AFH solution is a low-complexity co-existence technique
which will allow Bluetooth and 802.11 radios to operate simultaneously in close
proximity or even within a common module. This development promises to be
good for both Bluetooth and 802.11 - without co-existence solutions mutual
interference could have threatened the market success of both. Hardware
and software implementations of AFH are currently under development by both
companies.

Possio
PX20 is an access point which combines both Bluetooth and WLAN into a
single device. It thus enables users of Bluetooth-devices ( such as handheld computers, smart
phones and industrial devices) to access the Internet or intranet networks
wherever they may be installed - eg in coffee shops, hotels, airports,
offices or at home.
Features including the abilities to synchronise e-mail and
files, access streaming media such as video and radio, network games or manage
personal businesses. A white paper on the PX20 can be found by clicking

Blue802
Technology, Silicon Wave and Intersil have developed
Blue802 technology, a real-time communications interface at the MAC layer that
is transparent to the notebook PC or portable device user. Data can be
transmitted without interference while optimizing system throughput, range, and
responsiveness. This enables Bluetooth applications such as mouse, keyboard,
printing, file transfer and portable device synchronization to run at the same
time the user is connected to the network over Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b).
Dual-Mode
Mini-PCI Reference Design features Blue802 technology and combines both
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless functions on a single mini-PCI card. The reference
design allows OEMs to quickly bring mini-PCI cards to market at a lower cost
than implementing separate modules. The reference design allows both Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi radios to share the same PCB, host interface and antennas, saving
integration and material costs. Incorporating Silicon Wave's Bluetooth qualified
SiW1700™ series and Intersil's
PRISM® 3 chipset featuring direct
conversion technology, the
reference design is optimized for
low cost and high performance.
SuperBT Canada, Inc
Company Website
SuperBT develop and sell wireless access points as well as Bluetooth USB
adapters.
Wireless Access
Point SBT-2000 provides wireless access to the internet from Bluetooth and
802.11b devices. The network cable connection will be shared by wireless
clients.
Wireless Networks
Company Website
WNI creates wireless solutions to enable people to communicate
Universal Access Point (UAP) delivers all the features and functionality of
BlueLAN. It is designed to simultaneously support both Bluetooth and 802.11a
wireless connections. This will allow high speed data and video connections to
mobile devices. The UAP will support routing and firewalling to both wired and
wireless devices. Since Bluetooth and 802.11a occupy different frequency bands,
there are no interference issues.
