Bluegiga announces simple WRAP ASCII software for its WRAP(TM) THOR Bluetooth modules

Bluetooth World Congress, AMSTERDAM, Netherlands
Bluegiga releases an add-on software product for its WRAP THOR Bluetooth modules, called the WRAP THOR ASCII Interface. The WRAP ASCII add-on software is designed to further help all developers by offering a user-friendly interface for developing and integrating applications on top of Bluegiga's Bluetooth modules. 

The WRAP ASCII software provides a simple method for device manufacturers using the WRAP THOR Bluetooth modules by Bluegiga, to implement Bluetooth into their products, without having to concern themselves about Bluetooth protocol or profile level integration software. This is made possible by the WRAP ASCII software, allowing the WRAP THOR module to act similarly to standard modems.

"The WRAP ASCII software makes our Bluetooth modules extremely simple and fast to integrate. The module can now be used in the same way as a traditional modem. The interface is similar to the well-known AT command set. Now Bluetooth applications can be developed and used without having to integrate any other Bluetooth-related software into the system. The supported features behind the WRAP ASCII Software are the serial air link connection, inquiries, and data transfer," says Bluegiga General Manager Tom Nordman.
