Alcatel and IVT Corporation Sign Bluetooth Technology Partnership.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Bluetooth Developers Conference Booth No. 804 SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2001 Alcatel (Paris:CGEP CGEP Commonwealth Graduate Engineering Program (Virginia) CGEP Center for Gifted Education Policy .PA) (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :ALA) and IVT IVT intravenous transfusion. Corporation today announced they have signed a partnership agreement to jointly promote their Bluetooth solutions. The combination of Alcatel's Bluetooth reference design with embedded software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. up to HCI (Human Computer Interaction) Refers to the design and implementation of computer systems that people interact with. It includes desktop systems as well as embedded systems in all kinds of devices. , and IVT Corporation's Bluetooth Host Protocol Stack, Profiles and BlueTester, results in a total Bluetooth solution that is easy to integrate, offering equipment manufacturers a short development cycle. Dr. Qiang GAO, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of IVT Corporation, stated: "We are pleased to enter such a partnership with an innovative Bluetooth chip manufacturer like Alcatel. Alcatel and IVT are looking forward to providing their customers with complete turnkey solutions." Vincent Mouret, Vice President, Wireless Business Unit for Alcatel's microelectronics activities, commented: "Alcatel is bringing to the market the most compact and complete solution, satisfying the needs of the most demanding customer applications in terms of data rate, software flexibility and hardware implementation. Our partnership with IVT allows us to offer to our customers a total Bluetooth solution, a proven combination of our hardware and firmware and IVT's software. This partnership is part of our extensive program of collaboration with the major players in the Bluetooth industry." The Alcatel Bluetooth design, the MTC-60180, is the first Bluetooth chip on the market offering complete V1.1 functionality with proven interoperability; full data rate, point-to-multi-point master/slave switch, multi-slot packet communication (for higher data rates), park, hold, & sniff modes, scatternet functionality, Safer+ encryption and three simultaneous audio channels. With the flash memory embedded in the chip, Alcatel's design is a compact and complete solution. Customers can benefit from software upgrades faster and can differentiate their products by adding application layers without the need of external memory. The chip allows for maximum flexibility through the choice of radios. Alcatel has a future-proven platform, with a roadmap of various dedicated versions, a fast move to ROM (FlashROM(TM) from TSMC TSMC Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd TSMC Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation TSMC Traffic Systems Management Center TSMC Toll Station Management Controller TSMC Transportation Supply Maintenance Command TSMC Technical Services Manager Code ), and extended functionality. Moreover, Alcatel offers local technical customer support worldwide. IVT was the first to release the Bluetooth Protocol Stack SDL/C source code (Bluelet) in November 1999, followed by the first Bluetooth Conformance Tester (BlueTester for Conformance) in September 2000, and the first Bluetooth Interoperability Tester (BlueTester for Interoperability) in September 2001. IVT Bluelet Software Suite is one of the most favorable solutions for PC OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and makers, which runs on Windows 98/ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. It supports many profiles, including DUN, PAN, FAX, HCRP HCRP Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile HCRP Harvard Civil Rights Project HCRP Hillsborough County Republican Party , and Bluetooth hardware, such as USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. dongle The term was originally slang for a "hardware key." Today, the term is often used to refer to any small adapter that has a short cable with connectors at both ends. See hardware key and PC Card dongle. , PCMCIA Card and CF Card. Bluelet for CE (3.0) is another leading product from IVT. It is one of the most suitable solutions for handheld device makers. It runs on many handheld devices. IVT also offers different reference designs such as a headset, access point, voice & data gateway, PAN bridge and cordless phone.
