National's new CP3000 family of embedded connectivity processors will dramatically simplify the creation of linked networks and connected devices.

The CP3000 family includes the hardware, software, development tools and technical support to simplify and reduce the design and qualification cycle of connected embedded applications.

National Semiconductor's CP3BT10, CP3BT13, CP3UB17 and CP3CN17 processors bridge the different connectivity and protocol standards in networks.

Until today, there was no easy, cost-effective way to connect different types of devices using wide-area, local-area or personal-area networks.
