CONTINUA WINTER SUMMIT and TOKYO, /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
- Bluegiga's OEM Bluetooth Module With Health Device Profile Enables Simple and Safe Integration of
Wireless Connectivity for Health and Medical Devices
Bluegiga announced today that its OEM Bluetooth modules are now available with Bluetooth Health Device
Profile (HDP). The Health Device profile is integrated into Bluegiga's iWRAP firmware, running inside the
Bluegiga module, significantly simplifying and reducing the need for engineering and testing time for any type
of health or medical device.
"Bluegiga's Health Device Bluetooth profile with Bluegiga OEM module helps device manufacturer to
develop wireless features into existing or new devices with very limited amount of engineering. Bluegiga
modules are completely supported by Bluegiga meaning that for the OEMs, Bluegiga is a single point of
contact for any kind of development or support," comments Mr. Mikko Savolainen, Customer Service and
Product Director at Bluegiga Technologies.
The Health Device Profile is available for both Bluegiga WT11 Class 1 module and Bluegiga WT12 Class 2
module which use CSR silicon and run Bluegiga's iWRAP Bluetooth connectivity firmware. Bluegiga is the
first in the world to offer HDP for CSR based silicon. Bluegiga Access Servers and Access Points will support
the HDP Bluetooth Profile later in 2009, enabling integrators to setup secure and reliable telehealth networks
utilizing Bluetooth.
"The HDP enabled Bluegiga Bluetooth modules are a fantastic way for OEMs to make sure that the
Bluetooth project will meet high quality standards with the highest possible product reliability," says Tom
Nordman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Bluegiga. "We already have significant amount of
world leading Health and Medical device manufacturer customers for our OEM modules and Access Servers
and this new Health Device Profile will also help them to make the products compatible with other medical
device manufacturers."
