Texas Instruments Licenses WIDCOMM's Bluetooth for Windows Software; Agreement to Focus on High-Performance Bluetooth Designs for Notebook and Desktop PCs   MONTE CARLO, Monaco & SAN DIEGO, Jun 5, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- WIDCOMM Inc., a leader in short-range wireless communications and Bluetooth(TM) networking, and Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE:TXN), the world leader in digital signal processing (DSP) and analog technologies, today announced a licensing agreement to incorporate WIDCOMM's Bluetooth for Windows(R) (BTW) software stack in a series of advanced reference designs for Windows-based notebook and desktop PCs. Under the terms of the agreement, TI has licensed WIDCOMM's Bluetooth Protocol Software for Windows to use with a variety of TI reference designs for mini-PCI, PC cards, USB modules and USB dongle form factors. These TI reference designs provide PC OEMs, as well as contract manufacturers, a complete Bluetooth solution for notebook and desktop PCs that includes WIDCOMM's Bluetooth 1.1 certified software and TI's hardware to meet their platform-specific needs.   TI will also benefit from sublicensing rights for WIDCOMM's BTW software, a complete communications software solution that provides Bluetooth wireless technology for the Windows platform. In May 2001, WIDCOMM's BTW completed official Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) certification for compliance with the requirements of the Bluetooth Specification version 1.1, and the BTW software also supports all currently available software profiles for Windows.   "TI is working with WIDCOMM because of their extensive software support for the desktop and notebook PC market," said Mark Stropoli, marketing manager, Connectivity Solutions Group, TI. "The key to broad commercialization of Bluetooth wireless is software and hardware interoperability. Our rigorous tests have shown WIDCOMM's solution excels in interoperability performance. TI's customers will radically speed their time to market and achieve final product certification by using a fully certified Bluetooth 1.1 reference design including WIDCOMM software."   "TI combines its PC connectivity expertise with the strength of WIDCOMM's software stack to offer complete, highly interoperable, high-performance Bluetooth solutions for notebook and desktop computers," commented Andreas Malzach, WIDCOMM VP of marketing and general manager of WIDCOMM Europe. "Licensing WIDCOMM software to complement the excellence of TI hardware development speaks highly of the stability and maturity of our BTW solution."
