MONTE CARLO- The digital demonstration
handsets showcased by Qualcomm at the
recently-held Bluetooth Congress 2000 in
Monte Carlo incorporated Bluetooth radio
modules from Ericsson Microelectronics.

The demo follows an agreement announced this
February for the joint development and
marketing of wireless technology solutions
supporting both Bluetooth technology and
CDMA standards.

"This application provides ample proof of the
effectiveness of the concept of a complete
Bluetooth radio in a single package," said Bengt
Callmer, director of communications, Ericsson
Microelectronics. "It also demonstrates
Ericsson's ability to develop Bluetooth radios for
different specifications, such as CDMA and
GSM. The convenience of replacing cables
between devices with a wireless link will rapidly
be appreciated, and we anticipate that Bluetooth
radios from Ericsson will be used in many
applications beyond mobile phones in the near
future."

The Qualcomm demo follows the introduction
of Ericsson's T36 mobile phone, which
incorporates Bluetooth radio modules from
Ericsson Microelectronics for GSM
applications. Another product using Bluetooth
radio for GSM is Ericsson's R520 GPRS phone.

According to a report by US-based In-Stat
Group, the Bluetooth semiconductor market
could easily exceed 600 million units by 2005.
Revenues for this market are predicted to be
over $1 billion by 2002, and more than $3 billion
by 2005.
