Nordic Semiconductor demonstrates world's first Bluetooth Smart mouse and keyboard combo

Nordic Semiconductor nRFready μBlue Desktop

Nordic Semiconductor demonstrates its upcoming nRFready μBlue Desktop reference design – the world’s first fully functional Bluetooth Smart wireless mouse and keyboard combo. Working with a laptop with built-in support for Bluetooth Smart devices and running a developer preview of Windows 8, this reference design is set to take Bluetooth wireless computer peripherals to the next level in power consumption by delivering over a year of battery lifetime for the mouse and up to 10 years for the keyboard from a single pair of AA batteries.

Nordic Semiconductor - nRFready μBlue Desktop

The nRFready μBlue Desktop is based on Nordic's market-leading μBlue nRF8001 Bluetooth low energy Connectivity IC. It provides wireless computer peripheral makers with a complete and proven hardware and software reference design that significantly cuts down on development risk, time, and cost. It also delivers a wireless mouse and keyboard battery life performance comparable to Nordic's market-leading proprietary 2.4GHz RF solutions, but with the ability to operate without a USB dongle on Bluetooth Smart Ready computers (as Bluetooth low energy-compatible hub devices will now be marketed to consumers).

Nordic is already working closely with key partners and customers on the nRFready μBlue Desktop, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of computer operating systems and the ICs of other Bluetooth Smart Ready vendors.

The Nordic Semiconductor nRFready μBlue Desktop will be made generally available during Q1 2012.
