Stonestreet One has teamed with BrightCom Technologies to introduce an embedded Bluetooth solution. The companies will work together to embed Stonestreet One's upper layer Bluetooth protocol stack, Bluetopia, on BrightCom's BIC2101 Bluetooth Application Processor to give Bluetooth technology developers an integrated solution that reduces the resources required from an external processor and may even make external processors unnecessary.

Bluetopia, listed with the Bluetooth Qualifying Board, has a shared API for various platforms and currently runs on a number of operating systems and microprocessor architectures including Intel, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, ARM, and DSP. It is easily ported and scalable, allowing developers to operate in many different Bluetooth development environments.

The BrightCom BIC2101 Bluetooth Application Processor facilitates a wide range of applications, including peripheral interaction, file transfer, and modem, mobile, and voice communications. BrightCom Application Processors feature an embedded architecture comprised of a Bluetooth baseband core, complete software protocol stack, profiles, and developer-friendly API, as well as hardware interfaces for specific applications. The BrightCom Application Processors offer adaptability for real-life applications that have different power, baseband, RF performance, and memory requirements, depending on the types of devices that will be wirelessly networked.
