Overview:

No host stack is required on the PC or host system, so the blu2i product can be deployed across any operating system. The embedded firmware is extremely resilient, which in conjunction with software and hardware resets makes this the obvious choice for high reliability applications.

With excellent ranges up to 100m, the blu2i PCMCIA Adaptor can connect to any Bluetooth device supporting the same profile; it can be used as a cable replacement solution, a secure network connection via VPN or a remote monitoring / diagnostics device.

A range of Bluetooth profiles to cover the majority of applications is supported, including Serial Port, Dial Up Networkingand File Transfer Protocol.

Key Benefits:

  • fastest time to market
  • no host stack required
  • encrypted data
  • fully approved
  • ideal for embedded systems
  • lowest cost of ownership
  • RoHS compliant

Target application areas:

  • cable replacement
  • ruggedised / tablet PCs
  • monitoring and diagnostics
  • healthcare
  • automotive
  • secure VPN access
