Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) and WIDCOMM have produced a combined Bluetooth single-chip and software solution for Windows-based desktops and notebooks. An agreement between the companies allows CSR to offer a fully engineered hardware and software solution (antenna to Windows) for PC applications that is pre-qualified to version 1.1 of the Bluetooth standard and includes full USB certification.

CSR's BC111015BBD-01 bundle supplies BlueCore silicon, lower layer firmware and a complete Windows application, including WIDCOMM's BTW Bluetooth communications software stack. BlueCore01 includes integrated CMOS-based radio, baseband and microcontroller. The bundle is available now.
