ACCESS Enables Wireless Information Appliance Networks With AVE-Blue Embedded Bluetooth Protocol Stack.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden & TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2001 ACCESS to Demonstrate Capability At Embedded Systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. Expo and Conference (ESEC ESEC European Software Engineering Conference ESEC Eye Surgery Education Council ESEC Ecole Superieure d'Etudes Cinematographiques (Paris, France) ESEC En-Route Secondary Radar Beacon ESEC Electronic Surface Element Control ) in Tokyo ACCESS Co., Ltd. introduced AVE-Blue, a wireless communication protocol stack The set of protocols used in a communications network. A protocol stack is a prescribed hierarchy of software layers, starting from the application layer at the top (the source of the data being sent) to the data link layer at the bottom (transmitting the bits on the wire). for embedded information appliances based on the Bluetooth version 1.1 specification. By seamlessly integrating with ACCESS' NetFront(R) browser, the defacto standard browser for Internet appliances, AVE-Blue can be used to easily create a wireless network for devices such as PDAs, car navigation See GPS. systems and digital cameras. By using the OBEX (Object Exchange) application protocol, the wireless network can exchange NetFront browser data, such as address books, bookmarks and e-mail. ACCESS will demonstrate a wireless network using the AXIS 9010 Bluetooth Access Point from AXIS Communication AB and browser installed reference terminal using the Hitachi SH-3 and CSR (1) (Customer Service Representative) A person who handles a customer's request regarding a bill, account changes or service or merchandise ordered.

Easy Application Development AVE-Blue offers a convenient development environment for first-time Bluetooth application developers. By developing applications with Visual C++, engineers can speed new applications to market by emulating the environment on a PC. Moreover, the test work required to use the official Bluetooth logo is simplified with the TCI (Trustworthy Computing Initiative) An umbrella term from Microsoft for its efforts to improve security in Windows. TCI was announced in 2002 after viruses such as Code Red and Nimda had succeeded in attacking numerous Windows computers. test control interface. AVE-Blue further speeds Bluetooth application development with its intelligible APIs, sample applications for each profile, and configuration features for selective profile implementations. A Total Internet Solution It's very easy to add Bluetooth functionality to an Internet appliance that's already using ACCESS' NetFront browser. AVE-Blue seamlessly integrates with the ACCESS component-ware family, including ACCESS' AVE-TCP v6.0, an embedded TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. protocol stack that supports the billions of IP addresses available with the IP v6 standard. AVE-PPP serial communication protocol is tightly connected to the AVE-Blue serial port profile through the 'BTCOMM' API. In this way, ACCESS provides a total Internet solution. Functions and Features of AVE-Blue AVE-Blue offers the following functions and features: -- Supports Bluetooth v1.1 -- Supports core profiles of HCI, L2CAP, RFCOMM, SDP and TCSBIN -- Supports 12 protocols -- GAP, SDAP, CTP, ICP, SPP, HSP, DUP, LAP, GOEP, OPP, FTP and SNY (all except FAX) -- Compact stack core (requires 60KB ROM and 5KB RAM) -- CPU and OS independent -- Works on these CPUs: Hitachi SH7709A and StrongARM 1110 -- Works with these controllers: Ericsson EBDK/EBSK (Uart) and CRS BlueCore01 (BCSP) -- Works with these operating systems: Hitachi ITRON HI7700 and micro-MORE v4.0 About Bluetooth The Bluetooth standard is the emerging technology for short-distance wireless communications using the 2.4 GHz band. ACCESS has participated as an associate member of the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest group), which has 2491 participating companies worldwide. According to Allied Business Intelligence, shipments of Bluetooth-enabled devices are projected to reach over 1.4 billion in 2005. Bluetooth is expected to be designed into a wide variety of applications for information transfer, electronic banking, vending and Internet access. Availability An early access version corresponding to Bluetooth v1.0B+CE has already been released. AVE-Blue v1.1, corresponding to Bluetooth V1.1, will start shipping in August in Japan and in 2002 in the US. ACCESS intends to get Bluetooth logo certification by the fourth quarter of 2001.
