The BlueCore3-MM will provide the RCKT-100 with the ability to stream digital audio from a Motorola iRadio(R)-enabled phone to a compatible car stereo via a stereo Bluetooth link. BlueCore3-MM will provide the RCKT-100 with handsfree functionality with caller ID support, CSR's Clear Voice Capture (CVC See CSC. ) technology and the new Bluetooth Handsfree Profile (HFP HFP Healthy Families Program HFP Honda Factory Performance HFP Hexafluoropropylene (Shipboard Fire Fighting Agent) HFP Hostile Fire Pay HFP Hepatic Function Panel HFP Hexafluoro-2-Propanol HFP Hands Free Protocol ) v1.5 in order to improve voice quality. The Bluetooth RCKT-100 adapter, launched at CES 2006, will be available later this year. Additionally, CSR's BlueCore3-MM delivers a host of Bluetooth profiles to give the Motorola RCKT-100 added functionality, including A2DP A2DP Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (communication protocol) (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and AVRCP AVRCP Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (Bluetooth) AVRCP Audio Video Remote Control Profile (Audio/Visual Remote Control Profile). The AVRCP profile permits the RCKT-100 to wirelessly control the audio from a Bluetooth enabled handset. The A2DP profile allows high quality stereo music to be received by the RCKT-100 adapter and then channeled through the car speaker system. As the software on the iRadio-enabled phone detects the presence of a trusted A2DP link it will automatically re-route the music without the need for any additional effort. BlueCore3-MM also implements the HFP profile with caller ID support. The new Bluetooth profile, designed for handsfree voice calling, has enhanced voice quality and allows phone information to be displayed on the car's radio display The award-winning Motorola iRadio is a subscription based digital radio service providing over 600 channels of digital radio music and talk programs. Anthony Murray, Vice President Automotive Strategic Business Unit at CSR commented, "Convergence is an increasingly important topic in today's mobile industry and more consumers are demanding more from their gadgets, be they mobile phones, cars or computers. Motorola's innovative products are driving a new level of convergence where functions of one device can be seamlessly transferred to the interface of another. CSR is working hard to ensure that our partners are not hindered by technological constraints in their work towards true seamless, wireless mobility." 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 per cent of all Bluetooth devices shipped and over 60 per cent of all qualified Bluetooth enabled products and modules listed on the Bluetooth website with industry leaders including Nokia, Dell, Panasonic, Sharp, Motorola, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , 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 range of Bluetooth products. In March 2005, CSR acquired Clarity Technologies Inc., for its Clear Voice Capture (CVC) 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.
