Bluetooth v2.1 technology CAMBRIDGE, England -- CSR plc CSR (LSE: CSR), or Cambridge Silicon Radio is a company based in Cambridge, England whose main product line is a single-chip implementation of the Bluetooth standard for radio-signal communication between devices. CSR is a fabless semiconductor manufacturer. (LSE LSE - Language Sensitive Editor :CSR): Photo ref: PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) A standard for secure e-mail on the Internet. It supports encryption, digital signatures and digital certificates as well as both private and public key methods. Not widely used, work on PEM later evolved into S/MIME.

BlueCore TouchLITE allows manufacturers to include a Bluetooth remote control for navigation systems, in-car multimedia devices and MP3 players with little additional cost or development time. Unlike traditional infrared remotes, Bluetooth requires no line of sight, supports multiple button presses, the range is increased up to 30 meters and several target devices can be easily supported. Most importantly Adv. 1. most importantly - above and beyond all other consideration; "above all, you must be independent" above all, most especially BlueCore TouchLITE supports Bluetooth v2.1, allowing two single batteries to last more than 500 days in a typical usage scenario. BlueCore TouchLITE benefits from such Bluetooth v2.1 features as sniff-subrating, which provides products with the lowest power consumption and latency when connected. In Sniff mode (or Stand-by), The TouchLITE remote control consumes only 0.1mA of current. Based on CSR's industry proven BlueCore silicon, the BlueCore TouchLITE development kit comes complete with an easy-to-use, fully documented hardware example design, Bluetooth software stack (1) A stack that is implemented in memory rather than in hardware registers. See stack. (2) A generic reference to a set of system programs or a set of application programs that form a complete system. See stack. , Bluetooth profile suite, and example application software. "BlueCore TouchLITE makes it easy for manufacturers to include a Bluetooth remote control in automotive applications," said Rafik Jallad, Vice President of the Automotive Business Unit at CSR. "With so many in-car devices already including Bluetooth it makes sense to have a Bluetooth remote control as well. Bluetooth v2.1 brings down power consumption while at the same time keeping all Bluetooth features. We expect to see a lot of exciting products using TouchLITE and Bluetooth v2.1 in 2009." The example application running on CSR's BlueLab development environment allows users to customise the software features and/or user interface to meet their own specific product requirements using the Bluetooth v2.1 BlueCore TouchLITE software as a base. BlueLab is a fully integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment for engineers writing software to run on CSR chips and includes all necessary libraries and production firmware for rapid product development and support for new Bluetooth features. TouchLITE is available now.
