MALMO, Sweden, June 13, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Teleca has secured a contract from Mitsubishi Electric to implement Bluetooth in the client company's latest microcontrollers. The assignment includes software development, licensing and support.
Bluetooth Host Stack is a software component that enables wireless communication between handheld units, such as PDAs and digital cameras.
For Teleca, this assignment involves adapting Bluetooth Host Stack to the operative systems and hardware for Mitsubishi's microcontrollers. Microcontrollers exist in most electronic products today, such as mobile phones and games, as well as in the automotive industry.
"Together with Teleca we can offer a complete and strong Bluetooth hardware and software package to our customers. With a ready-to-use ported host stack for our M32C series the customer saves evaluation and qualification effort and gets significant market advantage. Teleca convinced us by their wide and customer oriented support spectrum and especially by their excellent experience with embedded Bluetooth design," said Raimund Stampa, Assistant Manager at the European Design and Engineering Center of Mitsubishi Electric Europe.
"Teleca is delighted to be partnering with Mitsubishi on their class leading microcontrollers. Our long experience of Mitsubishi's microcontrollers, combined with our expertise in Bluetooth solutions, creates a strong offering for our customers and Mitsubishi's. Time-to- market and technically feasible solutions are essential to our customers," said Jorgen Simonsson, Mangaging Director of Teleca subsidiary Teleca Comtec.
