Korea-based design house SeeCode has chosen the BrightCom IntelliBlue BIC2102 application processor to facilitate Bluetooth links in its headset designs and Bluetooth modules. SeeCode placed a volume order for the BIC2102 through Semitron, a licensed BrightCom distributor in Korea, with volume shipments expected by Q3 2002. SeeCode intends to install the BrightCom chips in the headsets of a major electronics supplier in Europe.
SeeCode, whose protocol stack was Bluetooth-qualified since May 2001, also intends to incorporate BrightCom's technology in its soon-to-be-released PCMCIA cards for laptops and PDAs for a major OEM in Korea.
"We were disappointed in the voice quality of a competing chip we purchased last year, so we were especially careful in choosing a vendor this time around", stated In-Seop Jung, CEO of SeeCode.
"Not only did BrightCom achieve the best voice quality we ever experienced, it also met all of our technical requirements and more".
"The Bluetooth headset has the potential to be an exciting new application.
But voice quality can suffer from environment noise and poor radio performance", elaborated Yuval Ben-Ze'ev, BrightCom's President and CEO.
"Our BIC2102 enables product developers to choose the best RF for a specific environment, which is a critical factor in voice applications.
It also can compensate for packet-loss by special signal processing algorithms embedded in the chip.
Another relevant feature we developed is called SleepSynch which, in the case of battery-powered headsets, enables continuous talk time for up to 10 hours, and several weeks of standby time".
IntelliBlue application processors provide a fast and easy way to implement a wide range of Bluetooth home and office wireless applications.
This highly integrated solution reduces the bill of materials for the overall Bluetooth-enabled system and does not require any change in a customer's existing hardware or operating systems.
