Pocit Labs now starts shipping the BlueTalk(tm) P2P Starter Kit - the first peer-to-peer (P2P) development kit for Bluetooth(tm) multipoint ad-hoc networking solutions.
Pocit Labs - the leader in P2P software solutions for handheld devices and the winner of the Bluetooth annual award this year - today released BlueTalk P2P Starter Kit, the first spontaneous P2P toolkit for handheld devices, including Bluetooth multipoint CF-cards from Samsung Electro Mechanics (Samsung).
"We are very excited to be releasing this first version of BlueTalk," says Tony Grass, VP of Sales and Relations. "We have a huge interest from customers all over the world long before this release so it is a pleasure to finally deliver the complete solution".
This first release will be aimed at the Bluetooth marketplace and contains everything needed to develop and implement state of the art P2P solutions over Bluetooth, including the BlueTalk P2P platform, software applications, API's and multi-point Bluetooth CF cards from Samsung, the world's largest RF component manufacturer.
Samsung had already acquired crucial technical know-how in the 2.4 GHz ISM band by developing and manufacturing high performance Wireless LAN devices. Therefore Samsung could develop one of the first Bluetooth modules that were certified according to Bluetooth Specification v1.1. The CF card shows such an excellent RF performance that Pocit Labs started to work with Samsung.
"Decisive for us was the flexibility of Samsung," says Tony Grass. "Due to the in-house production, Samsung engineers are able to adjust the CF cards to our needs, while maintaining competitive prices."
Samsung also looks forward to the new partnership: "We are very impressed with BlueTalk and its unique functionality for multi-point P2P networking over Bluetooth," says KR Lee, VP of Samsung Electro-Mechanics R&D Center, and continues, "BlueTalk will add an extra level of functionality to Samsung Bluetooth equipped product portfolio, enabling full wireless P2P network functionality, fast service distribution and proactive actions."
The BlueTalk P2P Starter Kit is the first product in a series, embracing various aspects of P2P computing on handheld devices. BlueTalk will be demonstrated at Comdex in Las Vegas, 12-16 November, together with Samsung Electro-Mechanics, booth LC 102.
"Our mission is to supply a reliable toolkit enabling development of wireless ad-hoc P2P solutions," says Christer Rindebratt, Chief Executive Officer, at Pocit Labs. "The BlueTalk P2P Starter Kit will facilitate the development of powerful P2P solutions for Bluetooth equipped handheld devices," Mr. Rindebratt concludes.
