About Bluegiga

Bluegiga connects Bluetooth enabled devices with corporate networks and the Internet. In addition, Bluegiga products create easy-to-use and secure wireless links between Bluetooth devices and applications.

All things connected wirelessly - Bluegiga's Wireless World

Bluetooth technology has become a new standard functionality in cell phones, PDAs, laptops and an increasing number of other devices. With GSM-level security and low power drain, Bluetooth links are utilized to enable cost efficient wireless connectivity.

For many, Bluetooth technology is first encountered as a flexible replacement to infrared links and cables, and as convenient hands-free accessories to mobile phones. With the introduction of intelligent access servers and Bluetooth modules that provide a connection between Bluetooth devices and other network technologies, the way is paved for more demanding business and industrial applications.

Using a Bluetooth access server, content and applications in both the Internet and corporate intranets can be wirelessly accessed and synchronized using smart phones and other Bluetooth enabled devices. With significantly lower power drain and superior flexibility compared to WLAN technologies, Bluetooth is an ideal link between small battery-operated wireless devices and data networks.

Versatile and cost-efficient network access from any device with a Bluetooth link provides a platform for a wide variety of new wireless services - in marketing, promotion, retail, sports, wellness, and more. First business applications include distribution and synchronization of content; near future opportunities include - among many others - the use of Bluetooth enabled smartphones as VoIP terminals.

Comprehensive product portfolio to design and build Bluetooth networks

Bluegiga products are software configurable for versatile integration. Bluegiga access products link wireless devices as integral and secure parts of corporate networks and provide an ideal solution for remote monitoring applications. In addition, Bluegiga range includes products to replace cables in various industrial, M2M and telemetry applications, enhancing flexibility and decreasing costs.

Bluegiga WRAP Multiradio Access Server enables the deployment of Bluetooth connectivity as a new virtue of existing networks without network reconfiguration. Bluegiga�s first-generation access products have been on the market since 2002, and the new Multiradio Access Server, the first device to integrate multiple Bluetooth modules with WLAN, GSM, GPRS and Ethernet LAN connectivities, was commercially launched in February 2004.

Bluegiga WRAP THOR Bluetooth modules with 100 meter range are robust, lightweight and flexibly embeddable. The modules enable device manufacturers to easily add secure and robust wireless communications links in both new and existing applications. Bluegiga also offers a range of development tools, software versions and flexible production models from low to high-volume applications with customized or standard Bluegiga software options.
