Bluetooth Right on Track Says Micrologic Research

PHOENIX and DUSSELDORF, Germany--Nov. 28, 2001-- According to Micrologic Research, the short-range wireless technology known as Bluetooth is coming to market just as predicted.
    Bluetooth is a personal area network wireless technology designed mainly to enable wireless communications among devices that people might carry, such as cellular telephones, wireless headsets, and personal digital assistants and to allow these devices to communicate with larger electronics systems such as a computer or the electronics in an automobile.
    In its original Bluetooth forecast published in August 2000, Micrologic Research predicted that 5 million Bluetooth chipsets would be sold this year in preparation to the appearance of substantial numbers of Bluetooth-enabled devices on store shelves early next year. The Bluetooth market is now on track to make that prediction come true.
    Micrologic Research predicts that 45 million Bluetooth chipsets will be sold in 2002 and that 181 million will be sold in 2003. In 2005, the company predicts that sales will reach 1.2 billion chipsets.
    This forecast is part of an extensive coverage of the Bluetooth market contained in Micrologic Research's market study entitled "Wireless Data Communication 2001." The study has two full chapters on the Bluetooth market including the activities of scores of suppliers to the Bluetooth market.
    As a bonus, "Wireless Data Communication 2001" also includes extensive coverage of other wireless data communications markets including wireless LANs, paging and messaging, broadband fixed wireless, the Global Positioning System and telematics.
    An executive summary of the study and full table of contents can be viewed at www.mosmicro.com. Visitors to the site can also download one of the industry's best dictionaries of communications technology free.
    "Wireless Data Communication 2001" costs $2,895 for the first copy and $500 for additional copies in either book or CD-ROM format. To order the 388-page study, in the Americas and Asia contact Jack Quinn at 602/231-8625 or e-mail jack.quinn@mosmicro.com.
