Leading consumer electronics providers have compared the SGN5210 to all other solutions and have chosen it because of its superior performance and cost effectiveness. "Customers throughout the world are developing numerous exciting wireless applications that do not require the universal connectivity or high data rate of Bluetooth. For these applications, the SGN5210 provides the optimum combination of excellent range, and simple low cost system design" said Alvin Chen, Signia Technologies President and CEO.
Signia provides all the tools necessary to implement a 2.4GHz spread spectrum design quickly and easily. Reference schematics, Bills of Material, and C-code are available as are completed modules. The SGN5210 is sampling now and will be available in production volumes during 1Q of 2003. In production volumes in excess of 1MU, the SGN5210 is priced below $2.00.
About Bluetooth:
In early 1998 a group of computer and telecommunications industry leaders, including Intel, IBM, Toshiba, Ericsson, and Nokia, together began developing a way for users to connect a wide range of mobile devices quickly and easily, without cables. To ensure that this technology is seamlessly implemented in a diverse range of devices, these leaders formed a special interest group, formally announced on May 20, 1998, to design a royalty-free, open specification technology, code named "Bluetooth". The SIG has quickly gained membership from companies such as 3COM/Palm, Axis Communication, Compaq, Dell, Lucent Technologies UK Limited, Motorola, Qualcomm, Xircom and is encouraging the involvement of all other companies interested in offering products taking advantage of a standardized, wireless means for connection.
