CSR reveals Bluetooth v4.1 listings

CSR has announced the listing of its first Bluetooth 4.1 qualified solutions for its Bluetooth dual mode and Bluetooth single mode devices. Bluetooth 4.1 is set to greatly improve the flexibility of classic Bluetooth and Bluetooth Smart communications. It will allow developers to design ever more attractive, secure and functional wearables and wireless sensors which can communicate with one another, as well as with multiple Bluetooth hubs at the same time.
 
Anthony Murray, Senior Vice-President, Business Group, CSR, said, “Bluetooth innovation is in our DNA. We were the first company to deliver a single chip Bluetooth solution to market and since then we have continually reaffirmed our commitment to the technology by bringing the best Bluetooth advancements to market.”
 
Murray added, “We are members of the Bluetooth SIG’s Core Specification Working Group and have played an instrumental role in developing the Bluetooth 4.1 specification. Coupled with us being one of the first to list Bluetooth 4.1 compliant solutions, this reinforces our commitment to supporting this exciting specification update.”
 
CSR will implement all of the important enhancements introduced in the Bluetooth 4.1 specification in its upcoming connectivity platforms, from single mode low-energy and wireless audio platforms through to discrete connectivity products. This will allow developers to employ the latest Bluetooth capabilities in their devices and expand their offerings to new markets.
