Santa Clara, CA — (press release excerpt) — Wipro Technologies has announced a suite of ready-to-use hardware and software products and services for the Bluetooth short-range wireless standard. The comprehensive “intellectual property” (IP) offering contains all the technology needed to rapidly integrate Bluetooth into new product designs. The solutions are intended for high performance inter-connectivity for PCs, PDAs, mobile phones, printers, fax, and wireless LAN access points.

Wipro's wireless communication solutions, which are compliant with Bluetooth's interoperability standards, support Bluetooth connectivity in a range of mobile, handheld, and personal communication products. The company's Bluetooth portfolio includes a complete Bluetooth baseband and protocol stack as well as application profiles.

The Bluetooth hardware baseband controller is a low gate-count ASIC IP subsystem built around an ARM7 processor core (but easily be customized to work with other processos), that is ideally suited for embedded applications. This hardware IP is complemented by a flexible system implementation of the protocol stack, operating on a virtual kernel interface, that enables its easy migration to third-party system environments.

Currently, the software solution is based on Red Hat's eCos operating system. It will shortly be available on various embedded Linux platforms.
