HCV Wireless Announces BlueMod Developer Kit
URL(s): www.hcvwireless.com
Australian wireless technology company enables rapid
development of end-user Bluetooth solutions.
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA - January 22, 2002 - HCV Wireless today announced the release of its
BlueMod Developer Kit Version 1.0. First demonstrated at at the Bluetooth Developers Conference
in San Francisco during December 2001, HCV Wireless has already received substantial interest in
the BlueMod product from Europe, Asia and the United States.
"The initial response has been terrific," says Henry Valk, founder and Chief Executive Officer of HCV
Wireless. "As the wireless industry consolidates around the Bluetooth standard, there's a real opportunity for
application developers to create innovative solutions. BlueMod provides a seamless platform to jump-start
these development projects".
An early tester of BlueMod is Gavin Maxwell, Platform Developer Alliances Manager, Asia Pacific region,
with Palm, Inc. "It looks to be an interesting concept," says Maxwell. "Developers can run components of their
software on BlueMod, and wirelessly integrate into client-side networks of Palm handhelds and other
devices. I tested it with my Palm m505 handheld with a Bluetooth SDIO card and had BlueMod doing useful
things within an hour."
BlueMod is a compact, fully compliant computing platform incorporating Bluetooth technology. Using
BlueMod, new and established solution developers can take advantage of a pre-qualified, embedded
wireless platform to accelerate the engineering process and bring their wireless products to market more
quickly. BlueMod features a small footprint, powerful 32-bit processor, Linux-based operating system and
multiple connectivity accessories. With full Bluetooth 1.1 compliance and multiple profiles, BlueMod's open
programming interfaces allow developers to quickly deploy and test their code inside a Personal Area
Network (PAN) space.
The key feature for developers, according to Henry Valk, is the speed at which they can take products to the
market. "Once developers place their code on BlueMod, it's a short process to the final product. Unlike other
development kits, BlueMod is production-ready for large volume manufacture. With our small form factor, we
can quickly integrate into any end-product design."
The BlueMod Developer Kit Version 1.0 is available directly from HCV Wireless. HCV Wireless also
provides custom engineering services to assist designers in implementing their product strategy. For pricing
