Integrating the PAN (Personal Area Network) profile into the LocalNavigator BlueXS-A has simplified LAN (Local Area Network) access. The use of the protocol stack eliminates the need for laborious configurations. Compared to LAP (LAN Access Profile) network access, for example, the PPP authentication used there is no longer required. The result is that even simple TCP/IP communication between different terminals becomes possible via the LAN access point. The LocalNavigator BlueXS-A does of course continue to offer parallel support for the LAN access profile.

BrightCom Technologies Ltd. have announced the launch of its new IntelliBLUE BIC2102 Application Processor. The BIC2102 is the first chip designed with enough MIPS and data memory to run embedded applications – together with the Bluetooth baseband and protocol stack.

IAR Systems have announced that its Bluetooth Protocol Stack is qualified according to the Bluetooth specification v1.1 on a Mitsubishi M16C/62 microcontroller device. IAR Systems and Mitsubishi Electric Europe also announced a partnership around the Bluetooth Protocol Stack technology for Mitsubishi devices and customers.

Mitsubishi has also selected the Embedded Bluetooth Protocol Stack from IAR as one of the preferred stack suppliers for its microcontroller devices and Mitsubishi customers. In the partnership between IAR Systems and Mitsubishi, IAR will promote the Mitsubishi M16C/62 device as the qualified reference design, while Mitsubishi will recommend its customers to use the IAR stack.

The combination of arca technologies’ existing expertise in the area of Bluetooth testing and protocol analysis and Mezoe’s highly respected software toolkits has produced a powerful test and debug tool with triple functionality: Command Generation, Profile Simulation and Serial Port Protocol Analysis.

CETECOM in Spain have announced that the first Bluetooth Interoperability Testing Laboratory in Europe has been set up. FUJITSU Ltd joined the program with a Bluetooth enabled notebook. This Reference Solution is the LifeBook B-2547 (currently available in the Market). CETECOM provides FUJITSU Ltd. with testing and consultancy services to guarantee the best performance of these Bluetooth products, to qualify and approve them in international markets.

The interoperability lab, located at CETECOM in Málaga (Spain), provides a space for companies to test their Bluetooth products’ ability to operate across different platforms and with a wide variety of similar devices.

The communications chip market contracted by 38 percent in 2001 in terms of revenue, a slide caused by economic slowdown, decreased spending and excess inventory, according to a report from consulting firm Gartner.

Except for a few emerging areas such as Bluetooth, nearly every segment saw revenue contract. Among the 20 largest companies, only Qualcomm experienced revenue growth. 

AFH is a technique that will allow multiple devices located in the same area to share the unlicensed 2.4GHz ISM band, while Blue802 Technology solves the technical issues created when Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless technologies are collocated in the same device. Silicon Wave also announced that AFH will be incorporated into future releases of Blue802 Technology once the Bluetooth SIG adopts it as part of the Bluetooth specification.

The Wireless Bluetooth Printing Kit, which costs $250, includes a wireless Bluetooth USB (universal serial bus) adapter and a wireless Bluetooth parallel-port printer adapter. More adapters are available and sell for $149 each.

3Com says the connection will be reliable for up to nearly 33 feet indoors. Bluetooth allows data to be transferred at speeds up to 1mbps.

The new medical messaging Web service, RoadMedic, uses the FM Gateway receiver CUE has developed to receive data on FM subcarrier and retransmit on 802.11 or Bluetooth wireless networks. CUE partnered with D-Link of Irvine, California to develop the 802.11 and Bluetooth solution.

Anritsu has been successfully supplying development equipment for Bluetooth for over a year, and meeting the need for high-speed volume testing with its MT8850A Bluetooth testset. The company has now introduced the ME7865A Bluetooth Pre-Qualification Test System (PQTS) and a discount scheme for the qualification process in co-operation with Centro de Tecnologia de las Comunicaciones, S. A. (CETECOM Spain).

The PQTS enables companies to get their products to market much more quickly. Using the PQTS in-house significantly reduces the risk of failure in the Bluetooth Qualification process, by enabling manufacturers to ensure conformance to the RF test specification before committing to costly and time-consuming final conformance testing and qualification.
