    "The BT111 Bluetooth Smart Ready HCI module is an expansion to our existing Bluetooth
4.0 product family and provides an easy-to-use Bluetooth 4.0 dual mode solution for
devices that have Linux or Windows operating systems. The latest Linux BlueZ and Microsoft
Bluetooth host stacks support Bluetooth 4.0 and BT111 is an ideal companion to be used
with them. The new BT111 Bluetooth Smart Ready HCI module offers an integrated Bluetooth
4.0 solution enabling fastest time-to-market with low development and certification costs
and reduced R&D risks," says Mikko Savolainen, VP of Product Management.

    BT111 Bluetooth Smart Ready HCI module has +8 dBm transmit power, approximately -90dBm
received sensitivity, and dimensions of 13.05 x 9.3 x 2.3mm with an integrated chip
antenna.

    "We were able to take advantage of our expertise in making wireless modules when we
designed the BT111. The goal was to design a really small Bluetooth 4.0 module without
sacrificing the radio performance. I think we did a an excellent job here, since BT111 is
twenty percent smaller than our similar, existing solutions and still provides better RF
performance," says Riku Mettala, VP of Engineering.

    The new Bluegiga BT111 module will also be Bluetooth, CE, FCC, IC, South Korea, and
Japan qualified and offers proven radio operation and minimal qualification costs.
Bluegiga's products have a long lifetime and therefore are future proof solutions for OEMs
that need long lifespan from the module vendor.

Bluetooth wireless technology is the global short-range of wireless standards for personal
connectivity from a wide range of electronic devices. The technology is now available in
its fourth version of the core specification and continues to develop, building on its
inherent strengths -a small-form factor radio, low power, low costs, built-in security,
strength, accessibility, and ad hoc networking abilities. The installed Bluetooth devices
were over one billion products at the end of 2006, making it the only well-known choice
for developers, product manufacturers and consumers worldwide.
