Motorola first to gain approval for Bluetooth products By Reuters Special to CNET News.com September 20, 2000, 5:05 a.m. PT AUSTIN, Texas--Motorola today said it received the first stamp of approval for two of its wireless products from the Bluetooth Qualifications Board, a new group that sets standards for short-term wireless technology. Bluetooth is a new technology that eliminates the need for cables between electronic devices including personal computers, mobile phones, headsets, handhelds and printers. Products approved by the board will bear a Bluetooth mark, which indicates they have satisfied requirements. Schaumburg, Ill.-based Motorola said its new add-on products, the PCMCIA card and the USB accessory, will enable wireless communication between a PC and a laptop computer. "We see this as one of the first markets that Bluetooth is going to be used (in)," Nick Marshall, marketing manager of subscriber technology for Motorola's wireless communications division, told Reuters. The software that will accompany the products will be based on Microsoft's Windows operating system to allow people to easily manage Bluetooth transactions. Marshall said Motorola plans to initially distribute the products to computer makers Toshiba and IBM during the fourth quarter. He expects the technology capability to extend to other devices such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants by the end of the year or the beginning of next year.
