Bluetooth^® Wireless Technology

Bluetooth technology lets you communicate, send vital information, listen to music and much more, all without wires

Bluetooth wireless technology is one of the most prominent short-range communications technologies with an installed base of more than three billion units. Bluetooth is intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security, low power and low cost. Bluetooth is designed to have very low power consumption by allowing radios to be powered down when inactive. The Bluetooth specification defines a uniform structure with global acceptance to ensure interoperability of any Bluetooth enabled device.

Why TI Bluetooth?
TI is one of the leading semiconductor companies providing Bluetooth wireless technology for portable, battery-powered devices leveraging nearly a decade of experience and seven generations of products which are optimized for the needs of handheld products. TI is also the market leader in combined wireless products such as the WL1271 (singlechip WLAN/Bluetooth device) and CC2567 (Bluetooth/ANT) which further solve issues such as coexistence, antenna sharing in size-constrained devices, cost and power consumption.
