Motorola's Bluetooth-enabled embedded infrastructures will run on Linux, VxWorks and Windows 2000, and will be available on both PowerPC and Intel processors. It expects the first platforms to be available in early 2002. Over the next year, we will work closely with them to develop our platforms to their equipment specifications to help bring these products to market. Motorola is not a newcomer to Bluetooth. But while these companies represent significant industry support, Bluetooth acceptance is not without challenges.
Cost is an issue.
But what Bluetooth lacks in speed it makes up in flexibility. Bluetooth creates ad-hoc wireless networks, allowing devices to seamlessly enter and exit the network. Copyright 2001 INT Media Group, Incorporated All Rights Reserved.
