According to BrightCom, Bluetooth devices need to contain embedded stand-alone intelligence, along with software and additional processing power.
Bluetooth processor comes in under ten bucks
BrightCom Technologies is taking orders for its BIC2101 Bluetooth Application Processor priced at under $10 in volume quantities on a 12-14 week lead-time.
Bluetopia has a shared API for various platforms and currently runs on a number of operating systems and microprocessor architectures including Intel, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, ARM, and DSP.
It is easily ported and very scaleable, allowing developers to operate in many different Bluetooth development environments.
Bluetopia is listed with the Bluetooth Qualifying Board.
The BrightCom BIC2101 Bluetooth Application Processor facilitates a wide range of applications, including peripheral interaction, file transfer and modem, mobile and voice communications.
BrightCom Application Processors feature an embedded architecture comprised of a Bluetooth baseband core, complete software protocol stack, profiles and developer friendly API, as well as hardware interfaces for specific applications.
"We are excited about the opportunity to work with BrightCom to develop an embedded Bluetooth solution", said Dick Smith, president of Stonestreet One.
"Given the benefits of an embedded solution lower cost, lower power requirements, smaller form factor it is no surprise that we have seen a strong demand from a variety of industries for such a solution.
Embedding Bluetopia on BrightCom's BIC2101 Application Processor will meet that demand".
"The thousands of potential uses for Bluetooth cannot be met with a single 'one-size-fits-all' product", Yuval Ben-Ze'ev, President and CEO, BrightCom Technologies, said.
"Teaming with Stonestreet One makes our Application Processors more flexible by allowing customers to choose the stack that best fits the needs for their specific wireless applications".
