Why Bluetooth will become a necessity in many products
Consumer expectancy.
Product “networking”.

Basic steps of Bluetooth implementation
Feasibility study. To go ahead or not?
Create project plan and decision parameters.
What to do inhouse/what to outsource.
Build & test prototype.
Acquire / develop profile, application, host stack SW.
Acquire BT module.
Embed BT in product.
Qualify product with SIG.

Qualification tips
Preparation
Use prequalified Bluetooth Components/IP.
Involve a BQB early on.

Why is “time to market” so important?
Short development time usually means:
- lower overall cost
- faster “time to market”
- faster “break even”
The sooner your BT product hits the market:
- the more publicity your brand gets
- the more market share you get
- this tends to perpetuate (you stay on top)
Bluetooth growth is expected to be explosive ...

Summary
Consumer expectancy & product “networking” will make BT a necessity in many products.
“Time to market” is important for competitive and cost reasons+ expected rapid growth in BT area.
Development time can be shortened in several ways:
- learn more
- use development tools
- use components “off the shelf” and prequalified
- choose partners with wide, practical BT experience
