CAMBRIDGE, U.K. and SEOUL, South Korea -- A wireless telephony access point for home use - a product that is one of the most sophisticated deeply-embedded Bluetooth systems ever developed - has been created in record time with the aid of a new development tool from Cambridge Consultants.

Designed in just three months by Clipcomm, for Korea Telecom's 'OnePhone'fixed-mobile-convergence (FMC) service, the new BlueStation series uses Bluetooth to allow mobile phone users to make or receive calls over the fixed wireline phone network when at home. This facility allows mobile phone users to use the same phone and number wherever they are, and reduce call charges. With Bluetooth becoming commonplace on mobile phones, this telephony concept is attracting worldwide attention, and a similar scheme called BT Fusion is currently being launched in the UK by BT.

"Without this SDK, it's unlikely we could have implemented this embedded system in such an economic way," says Jaewoo Ahn, CTO at Clipcomm. "The high-level application level interface of the SDK also reduced the development time required for this product. It's helped us to create a very powerful and economic access point solution, very early in the lifecycle of this important emerging telephony market".

"Bluetooth is now finding its way into many more complex applications", adds Cambridge Consultants' Tim Fowler. "This new toolsuite - with its integrated development environment - provides Bluetooth developers with the high-level development support they need to address these opportunities. Engineers can really exploit its facilities to rapidly create powerful Bluetooth products, as Clipcomm's engineers have demonstrated on this remarkable development project".
