Bluegiga's WT12 Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR Module Certified

Espoo (February 2nd, 2006) - Bluegiga Technologies takes one step forward to become the worlds leading provider in the Bluetooth module market as WT12 recently gained Bluetooth end product certification status. WT12 is the first Bluetooth 2.0+EDR module, which is certified as an end product. End product status means that no additional Bluetooth certification is needed when using WT12.

"Since we launched the module during the summer 2005 we have been able to win much more designs than we expected. The main reason why WT12 is the market leader at the moment is that it is technically very easy to integrate, has a good feature set meeting market demands and EDR support for higher throughput.", comments Mr. Tom Nordman, Vice President of Sales at Bluegiga Technologies.

"The WT12 module has been a natural way to broaden Bluegiga’s successful product portfolio. In the upcoming months we’ll also release the WT11 module which will be a class 1 Bluetooth 2.0+EDR compliant module. As customers are very critical in having as frictionless integration process as possible, we’ll be proceeding for the end product certification without compromises.”, comments Mr. Teemu Vainio, Product Director at Bluegiga Technologies.

The FCC and CE certifications have been also accomplished and the official certification numbers will be soon available at www.bluegiga.com/techforum/.
