Ericsson expands Bluetooth software offering

May 31, 2002 - Ericsson today announced the Bluetooth PC Reference Stack 3.20, a new software that will be used with Ericsson Development Kits. So far 6,500 Development Kits have been shipped, which are found in every Bluetooth lab throughout the world.

The Bluetooth PC Reference Stack 3.20 is intended for application development, which is intuitive, easy to use, and gives access to profile functionality. In addition, the application interface (API) gives full access to all of the lower layers, such as the HCI, and is intended for development of the customer-specific middleware. Current development tools from Ericsson, such as the Application Tool Kit and Bluetooth Development Kit, will be updated with this new version.

The PC Reference Stack will be shown for the first time at the Bluetooth Congress in Amsterdam, June 12-14 (in Ericsson booth 518 and Teleca Comtec booth 608)

Among other Bluetooth Software tools from Ericsson are the HCI Toolbox, Log Analyzer and Script Engine.
