Collaboration seeks to take pc connectivity to ‘next level’

The collaboration will support the latest Bluetooth standards in a bid to enable new usages and improve the performance of the next generation of laptops, netbooks and other mobile devices. The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi combination solution is being designed to enable users to synchronise content with their pcs in a fraction of the time it takes for the same operation today. "Intel is the leader in overall pc platforms, and we look forward to working with them on the development of these new high-speed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth products," said Anthony Murray (pictured), senior vice president of the Audio and Consumer Business Unit at CSR. "We believe this product collaboration can bring significant benefits of the latest Bluetooth technology to mainstream consumers using PC platforms worldwide." "As handheld, mobile and peripheral devices with Bluetooth are increasingly inter-connected to notebooks, our customers want the familiar interoperable connectivity experience," added Aicha Evans, general manager of Intel's Mobile Wireless Group. "We are working closely with CSR to integrate its best-in-class Bluetooth technology into our award winning wireless roadmap and look forward to bringing the benefits of this collaboration to our customers and consumers."
