Evaluation Kit

The BlueRadios intelligent serial embedded SMT module is the first design to provide a ready-engineered OEM product solution for a point-to-point and multi-point Bluetooth cable replacement. By eliminating the need for a host microcontroller Bluetooth stack, external antenna, and running the cable replacement RS-232 like firmware directly on the Bluetooth chip itself, cost is kept to a minimum.

$399 - OEM Clients that require no technical support. Enables companies to quickly have a custom wireless Bluetooth solution up and working immediately. AT modem script commands are use to modify radio settings and configurations. One purchase per client. Ordering and Price Information>>

BR-EC40A Summary Spec. (69KB)

The BlueRadios serial radio modems are configured, commanded, and controlled through simple ASCII strings over the Bluetooth RF link or directly through the hardware serial UART. Customers are provided the documentation on the Bluetooth Serial Modules AT Command Set.

Why spend USD$1500 - USD$5,000 on a complicated embedded hardware and software development environment when you just want a simple serial radio modem product that you can actually use in a real application. Our solution does not require licensing any software or purchasing a $20,000 Bluetooth host controller embedded stack for each product or application.

Evaluation Kit System Requirements:
IBM Compatible PCs with available USB port, RS232/DB-9 Serial Port, (Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000, or XP) Operating Systems.

Bluetooth Profiles
All BlueRadios modules support: SDP, SPP, DUN, LAP, GAP, RFCOMM, L2CAP, Headset, HFP, eSCO, SCO, Audio Gateway, FTP Client/Server, OBEX, OPP - Object Push/Pull.

Software
In an easy menu-driven format, our Windows® software provides several helpful development utilities, enabling OEMs to quickly begin performing tests for configuration modes, range measurements, power management and data throughput. Plus, designers can easily program the transceivers to any desired configuration with standard AT Modem Commands.

Standardization
All BlueRadios transceivers utilize Cambridge Silicon Radios (CSR's) BCO4 Bluetooth chip set. The USB communicators support HCI layer. Standardization provides a lower cost and guaranteed performance for the customers applications across multiple platforms.

Configuration
BlueRadios transceivers have configuration parameters stored in FLASH memory that are used to customize the serial interface mode and provide for general system setup. The modules are shipped standard with default AT Modem Commands already configured to enable plug-and-play; these can be changed by sending ASCII command scripts by the OEM's application or from another remote Bluetooth device.

Antennas
Antenna type, gain, and location are among the most critical elements of a wireless system. BlueRadios modules come standard with an integrated embedded ceramic dielectric chip antenna that performs in various situations. In addition, our engineers can provide a comprehensive antenna review during the design process to determine the best mounting location for the radio modules.

Compliance
Products certified with Bluetooth® ver2.0 and meet the regulatory compliance such as Œ, FCC (USA), and ETSI (Europe). Our OEM transceiver approvals will help eliminate significant costs and time, yet regulatory compliance is required for the final product integration. BlueRadios experts can help guide OEMs through the approval process.

We also provide hardware and software customization for your specified requirements to make yours A Wireless World.
