Adeneo has developed a Bluetooth Manager for Windows CE, which it reckons is the most cost effective solution for OEMs wanting to add Bluetooth support to Windows CE devices. Based on the Windows CE standard Bluetooth stack, it provides a complete ready-to-use interface for both custom implementation and standard 'PDA-like' Bluetooth implementation. There is no need for additional development/design: once installed the manager is immediately up and running.

Yannick Chamming's, Adeneo's Windows Embedded Team Leader and the first Microsoft Windows Embedded MVP in France commented: 'Microsoft Windows CE standard Bluetooth stack is well featured and reliable, but there are no complete and integrated application provided in standard to manage Bluetooth communications of a Windows CE device'.

'This development requires a deep understanding of Windows CE Bluetooth stack and many hours of work to implement a complete solution'.

'With Adeneo's Bluetooth Manager, OEM can now benefit of a robust standard implementation, which provides most of the features available in Windows CE Bluetooth stack'.

Adeneo's Windows CE Bluetooth manager implements all standard features such as devices and services enumeration, authentification, encryption, pairing, remote services connexion, local services implementation.

Furthermore it supports most of the profiles available in Windows CE.

Adeneo's Windows CE Bluetooth Manager is completely implemented on the standard Windows CE Bluetooth stack.

Consequently, any Windows CE device that includes the Bluetooth stack can integrate the product.

Developed in Native C, there is no need for having the Compact Framework on the device.

The Bluetooth Manager is available for CE.NET 4.2 and CE 5.0.

Adeneo's Windows CE Bluetooth Manager comprises two separate modules: an 'engine' layer which implements all the features of the manager with an intuitive and an easy to use API; and a 'graphical' layer which implements a typical 'PDA like' IDE for Bluetooth communications management.

Available both as a catalogue component of Platform Builder and as an ActiveSync installation package, Adeneo's Windows CE Bluetooth can be integrated and used immediately without any integration costs, on both OEM custom devices or 'off the shelf' preinstalled products.

The licensing model allows users to purchase either the binary version of the product or the source version.

The binary version is for customers wanting to use the product without any modification.

The source version is for OEMs wanting to implement specific customisations.

Furthermore, the licensing model is royalty free, with only one-time licensing fees.

A free evaluation version can be obtained from Adeneo.
