CTS Corporation Joins the Bluetooth Consortium of Industry-Leading Companies.ELKHART, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 5, 1999--CTS Corporation has joined the Bluetooth consortium of industry-leading companies that are working together to deliver seamless connectivity between mobile devices. Bluetooth is an open specification for short-range radio connections between devices ranging from laptop PCs, mobile phones, PDAs, digital cameras, and other electronic products. The goal of the Bluetooth special interest group The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is the body that oversees the development of Bluetooth standards and the licensing of the Bluetooth technologies and trademarks to manufacturers. "SIG" is to provide a world where all electronic devices talk spontaneously -- where connectivity between computers, mobile phones and portable devices is as simple as flipping a switch. Ericsson, Intel, IBM, Nokia and Toshiba founded the Bluetooth SIG in an effort to provide a global specification for wireless connectivity. First announced in May of 1998, Bluetooth has gained momentum with overwhelming support from telecommunication, consumer and PC industry leaders interested in developing products based on the Bluetooth specification. Since its founding, the Bluetooth SIG has grown significantly, recently adding 3COM, Compaq, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lucent, Motorola, NTT DoCoMo, Philips, Samsung, Siemens and Texas Instruments and others as members. CTS (1) (Clear To Send) The RS-232 signal sent from the receiving station to the transmitting station that indicates it is ready to accept data. Contrast with RTS. (2) (Common Type System) The data typing used in . joined the Bluetooth consortium to support its market-focused product development strategy. Becoming a member of the Bluetooth Consortium follows the recent announcement of the definitive agreement signed between CTS and Motorola, Inc.

CPD, which will be renamed CTS Wireless Components, manufactures ceramics, quartz, oscillator oscillator Mechanical or electronic device that produces a back-and-forth periodic motion. A pendulum is a simple mechanical oscillator that swings with a constant amplitude, requiring the addition of energy at each swing only to compensate for the energy lost because of air , lead zircronate titanate ti·tan·ate n. A salt or ester of titanic acid. (PZT) and surface acoustic wave A surface acoustic wave (SAW) is an acoustic wave traveling along the surface of a material having some elasticity, with an amplitude that typically decays exponentially with the depth of the substrate. (SAW) components primarily for wireless communications equipment, as well as other applications. As a major participant in the fast-growing wireless communications equipment industry, CTS will be an active participant in bringing electronic components, based on the Bluetooth standard, to wireless communications original equipment manufacturers.
