Bluetooth chips help
with home office networks
BlueCore silicon has been selected by CC and C Technologies to Bluetooth enable its BT-260 Bluetooth printer combo adapter
The BT-260 is a Bluetooth printer adapter that offers both USB and parallel (1284) ports making it suitable for converting most PC compatible printers to wireless operation up to a range of 100m. Because the BT-260 supports both USB and 1284 (parallel) port printers, the Bluetooth adapter is ideally suited for both home and office use.
