Fractal antenna technology developer Fractus has collaborated with CSR, the wireless technology provider and supplier of Bluetooth connectivity, to develop an example design of a Bluetooth/WiFi combo card that provides VoIP and Bluetooth calls running at the same time inside a mobile handset device. The Bluetooth/WiFi combo card design brings together two Fractus Slim Reach Xtend antennas and CSR's UniFi-1 Portable WiFi chip and BlueCore4-ROM Bluetooth chip on a single card that delivers a small, high-performance co-existent design.

"The CSR combo card highlights the flexibility of Fractus antenna technology to enable a 2.4 GHz diversity system within a handset powered by CSR," said Fractus Short-Range Wireless Division Director Tim Hillison.

CSR is making the Bluetooth/WiFi combo card example design available to key customers on request and will demonstrate this solution during 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona next week.
