Motorola, who took the downhill, said on the 9th, the company will expand its development and production of products to apply Bluetooth communication technology, which plans to introduce a series of related products before early next year, including the Bluetooth function network card that can be entered into the Intel and PowerPC computer motherboard. This web card can be compatible with Linux, Microsoft Window 2000, and VxWorks any operating system.
Analysts say that the Bluetooth development plan released by Motorola will not be too warm. Because the Microsoft, which is a prime Bluetooth Specifications Development Group member, the new version of the operating system XP will not support the Bluetooth system, which has made the industry's big disappearance.
Cahners In-Stat Group Analyst Joyce Putshcer said that when Microsoft joined the Bluetooth Development Group, the industry believes that if Bluetooth has become the built-in function of the window, the surrounding market will be available.
In addition, Jorge Magalhaes, Vice President of Motorola, said that Motorola is negotiating with a number of pharmaceuticals and printed industrial plants to seek cooperation. He believes that these two major industries will be the first to use Bluetooth technology.
For example, when the hospital always encounters the personal name and information of the patient, it is easy to go wrong again. Magalhaes, if you can develop a wristband with a Bluetooth function, you can avoid mistakes.
The vision of the Bluetooth wireless transmission technology is expected, but it seems that it is clear that the thunder is large, the rain is small. Motorola is one of the founders of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (BSIG), so it is also seen as Bluetooth technology.
However, there are not many Bluetooth products that have been introduced so far. Motorola works with GN Netcom to launch a Bluetooth function headset. Motorola itself also pubes a Timeport 270 wireless phone with Bluetooth features.
Jack Quinn, president of Micrologic, said that there is too little product to applying Bluetooth features, making the market responded coldly to the news published by Motorola. However, he believes that it is worth noting that the Bluetooth card launched by Motorola is compatible with various operating systems, which is a major progress in other operators.
