A new wireless development kit for embedded developers is unique in supporting Bluetooth, 802.11 and GSM/GPRS
To coincide with 3GSM in Barcelona and the Embedded World Show in Nuremburg, Ezurio has announced the availability of a new wireless development kit for embedded developers that is unique in supporting Bluetooth, 802.11 and GSM/GPRS. It provides a simple design environment that can dramatically reduce the development time of wirelessly enabled products.

The wireless development kit is available with Ezurio's prequalified Bluetooth and 802.11 wireless LAN modules.
Both modules contain embedded protocol stacks, removing the need for complex programming on a host processor.
Both modules include multiple general purpose I/O lines and ADC convertors, allowing fully autonomous M2M applications to be developed without additional hardware.

For cellular applications, the wireless development kit also supports Siemens' MC55 range of GSM/GPRS modules, which are pin compatible with Ezurio's wireless LAN module.
This permits designers to develop products which can support either short range or wide area wireless connectivity, with incredibly fast time to market.
A terminal emulator program is supplied with the wireless development kit to facilitate programming of Bluetooth, 802.11 and GPRS modules.
'Developers have traditionally had to sit down and assimilate vast amounts of specific information when they moved to a new wireless standard', said Chris Shannon, CEO of Ezurio.
'With our new wireless development kit, embedded protocol stacks, intelligent APIs and pin compatible footprints, we've insulated them from all of that complexity'.
'These tools will let them concentrate on their product design and treat wireless connectivity as a simple building block'.
Ezurio's wireless modules are already extensively used in a wide variety of products, ranging from Bluetooth advertising systems in cinemas to medical defibrillators and EPOS terminals.
