Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (iDEN) is a mobile telecommunications technology, developed by Motorola, which provides its users the benefits of a trunked radio and a cellular (iDEN) handsets are endowed with CSR's BlueCore3-ROM cellular Bluetooth IC. Following the successful trial of the first iDEN handset - the i605, the Motorola i870, i615, and i580 are the latest Motorola iDEN handsets to feature Bluetooth connectivity by CSR and are currently available in the United States. Motorola's iDEN network is designed for mobile business applications offering advanced wireless technologies such as two-way digital radio, Bluetooth, Push-To-Talk (walkie-talkie), MotoTalk (off network walkie-talkie), digital wireless telephony, alphanumerical messaging, and data/fax capabilities. The iDEN handsets feature speakerphone, voice command, mobile Internet and e-mail, wireless modems and voice activation, providing full connectivity on the move as well as a full autonomous + assisted GPS receiver. CSR's BlueCore3-ROM is a fully compliant, single-chip Bluetooth V1.2 platform allowing wireless connection to other Bluetooth devices such as headsets, PDAs, and other mobile handsets. BlueCore3-ROM was the first IC in the industry featuring advanced Bluetooth V1.2 co-existence techniques such as adaptive frequency hopping (AFH AFH Adaptive Frequency Hopping AFH Away From Home AFH Army Family Housing AFH Air Force Handbook AFH Atlantic Fish Health (Charlottetown, PEI, Canada) AFH Administration, Finance, and Human Resources ), to ensure there is no interference with the other RF technologies in the end product. In addition, CSR's technology minimizes the external components required, ensuring production costs and real-estate on the circuit board are minimized. Matthew Phillips, SVP SVP S'il Vous Plaît (French: Please) SVP Senior Vice President SVP Schweizerische Volkspartei (Swiss People~s Party) SVP Society of Vertebrate Paleontology SVP Social Venture Partners SVP St Vincent de Paul of CSR's handset connectivity SBU commented, "Bluetooth connectivity is critical for all new mobile handsets. However, designers constantly face size, coexistence, and time to market issues. BlueCore offers a complete silicon and software solution designed for the smallest of products with the most advanced functionality, thus enabling companies to concentrate on other areas of handset design and differentiation." About CSR CSR plc is the leading global provider of Bluetooth technology and has developed expertise in other single-chip wireless communication standards such as Wi-Fi (IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.11). CSR offers developed hardware/software solutions for Bluetooth based around BlueCore, a fully integrated 2.4 GHz radio, baseband and microcontroller. CSR has now launched its fifth generation BlueCore suite and is in volume manufacture of its fourth generation BlueCore devices. BlueCore4 supports the Enhanced Data Rate (EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) An acronym occasionally used to reflect an advancement in transmission or transfer speed. For example, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR provides a dramatic increase in speed over the previous version. See Bluetooth. ) standard, which was ratified at the end of 2004. BlueCore4 remains the only EDR silicon to be shipping in volume today. In November 2004 CSR launched UniFi, the first single chip 802.11a/b/g embedded solution specifically targeting the mobile phone and consumer electronics markets. BlueCore features in over 50% of all Bluetooth devices shipped and over 60% of all qualified Bluetooth enabled products and modules listed on the Bluetooth website with industry leaders including Nokia, Dell, Panasonic, Sharp, Motorola, IBM, Apple, NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. , Toshiba, RIM and Sony using BlueCore devices in their Bluetooth endowed offerings. In March 2005, CSR acquired Clarity Technologies Inc., for its Clear Voice Capture (CVC See CSC. ) technology that enhances the audio performance of any voice-based product or system. Applications for CVC include wireless headsets, handsets and automotive hands free systems. In August 2005, CSR completed the acquisition of UbiNetics' software business, providing a strong R&D team to accelerate its existing software development in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and UWB. The UbiNetics team gives CSR the capacity to extend its offering to mobile handset customers. CSR has its headquarters and offices in Cambridge, UK, and offices in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, India, France, Denmark, Sweden and both Texas and Detroit in the USA.
