CSR has announced that the company will sample the industry’s first ULP (ultralow-power) Bluetooth silicon with a number of lead customers this year with silicon available in 2008. Previously known as Wibree, ULP Bluetooth is a new complementary Bluetooth technology that can be used to transfer simple data sets between compact devices and can run for up to 10 years on one button cell battery.

Adopted by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), ULP Bluetooth creates a new market for Bluetooth connectivity, addressing products such as watches, training shoes, TV remote controls and medical sensors, to enable them to communicate with mobile phones and PCs.
