Air2U Uses RFMD's UltimateBlue Single-Chip Bluetooth Component
September 28, 2004 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Greensboro, N.C. — RF Micro Devices, Inc., a provider of proprietary radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) for wireless communications applications, announced that Air2U, a Taiwanese designer and manufacturer of wireless consumer electronics products, is using RFMD's SiW3000 UltimateBlue single-chip Bluetooth component in its USB adapter. The adapter has been certified by Microsoft as an authorized device for testing the compatibility of Bluetooth wireless products operating with the Windows XP system.
Dr. Gregory Chu, chairman of Air2U, said, "We selected RFMD's single-chip Bluetooth component because of their ability to deliver a highly integrated ROM-based solution. Also, the unique architecture of the SiW3000 enabled us to eliminate the need for external flash and other active RF components, allowing us to produce a low-cost USB adapter."
In order to use the "Designed for Windows" logo on products enabled with Bluetooth technology, device manufacturers are required to submit their products to Microsoft's Windows Hardware Qualification Lab for compatibility testing. The Air2U USB adapter is an approved development tool that allows device manufacturers to quickly confirm interoperability between their products and the Windows XP operating system.
