Qualcomm, a leading manufacturer in wireless solutions has recently announced its new Bluetooth chip technology. The chip in discussion - BTS4025 system-on-a-chip (SoC) - offers support for Bluetooth 2.1 standard and EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) technology and improved radio transmission in a smaller energy efficient chip.
“As one of the industry's smallest and more power-efficient Bluetooth devices, the BTS4025 SoC raises the bar in terms of mainstream and entry-level handset performance,” told Mike Concannon, senior vice president of product management for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies.
The BTS4025 SoC measures only 3.2 x 2.9mm and ranks much below any competitor. It was optimized for interfacing with certain Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipsets and Qualcomm Single Chip (QSC) solutions. The highly energy-efficient chip increase the battery life up to 50 percent, and that's something to count. The chips will enter the market later this year, but no specific date was reported.
