In June 2006, we covered the news from Sena Technologies
concerning its Parani-SD
- take a look at Serial adapter goes a long way with Bluetooth
which says: "The Parani-SD is a Bluetooth serial adapter product line designed to replace RS232 serial cables with wireless connectivity".
Take a look also at the news release from Texas Instruments (April 2006-), Power conversion chip communicates with DSPs,
as well as Module puts serial comms over Bluetooth from Sena Technologies,
and Bluetooth adapter cuts the serial cable from Sena Technologies.
