With support for the Bluetooth Core Specification version 3.0+ High Speed (HS), code named "Seattle," the SDK would enable developers to maximize Bluetooth performance on a wide array of mobile and embedded devices.

Sybase iAnywhere Blue SDK 4.0 enables dual mode Bluetooth and 802.11 wireless connectivity with dramatically faster and highly reliable data transfer for various applications, such as playing MP3 files, photo downloads, and streaming video transmissions.

It uses existing Bluetooth technology to determine if a remote device supports an 802.11 AMP and then uses this higher speed connection to stream video or transfer large files efficiently. This combines proven Bluetooth discovery, security, and connectivity along with the speed of 802.11 -- all controllable through using the Sybase iAnywhere Bluetooth stack, said a press release.



"Forthcoming smart phones, in-car telematics and other wireless enabled devices stand to significantly benefit from the new Sybase iAnywhere Blue SDK 4.0," said Michael Foley, Ph.D., executive director, Bluetooth SIG.

He added, "Sybase continues to advance Bluetooth usage with their product evolution, qualified through rigorous testing at Bluetooth SIG interoperability test events.   The latest SDK release from Sybase enables users to take advantage of increased data speeds that are up to 20 times faster than conventional Bluetooth connections."

The latest version of Sybase's commercial Bluetooth stack brings developers in the telematics, mobile device, and consumer electronics markets many benefits, said the release.

Designed for use with Bluetooth v3.0+HS compliant dual mode transceiver, It offers both Bluetooth and any alternate MAC / PHY (AMP) connectivity.

Numerous Bluetooth profiles are also available to speed up time to market and improve reliability of the Bluetooth offering. It allows increased data rates of up to 20 times that of conventional Bluetooth protocols for fast file transfer of MP3 playlists plus audio and video streaming when using an 802.11 AMP, the release added.
