BT900 Series with intelligent Dual-Mode BTv4.0 and featuring smartBASIC recognized for excellence in electronics design

May 13, 2015 – Global technology leader Laird (London: LRD) wins 2015 ECN IMPACT Award for the BT900 series of Bluetooth modules.

The annual ECN IMPACT Awards recognize the products and services with the greatest impact on the electronic components industry. Laird’s BT900 series of Bluetooth modules was selected because it quickly, easily and affordably provides wireless freedom to devices across a range of industries.

“Laird is honored to receive the ECN IMPACT Award as it showcases the company’s dedication to continuous innovation and reliable fulfillment of solutions for the complex wireless landscape of today,” explains Laird’s Senior Vice President of Embedded Wireless, Ron Seide.

He adds that “Laird developed a proprietary programming language for the BT900 series called smartBASIC, which allows manufacturers of medical, industrial, and commercial equipment to quickly and easily introduce wireless capabilities to their devices. This product series delivers a fully configurable balance of Radio Frequency performance, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy and power consumption making it a powerful tool for portable, power-conscious devices.”

The smartBASIC language acts as a Bluetooth expert within the BT900 modules, simplifying the programming process and helping engineers and designers accelerate initial development, creation of prototypes, and mass production of end devices. This is because the smartBASIC application captures the complete end-to-end process of reading, writing, and processing data without the need for any external processor.

Laird received the award at the 2015 ECN IMPACT Awards ceremony on May 13^th in Las Vegas, Nevada. Advantage Business Media Design Engineering Group General Manager, Nick Pinto says, “The ECN IMPACT Awards program is proud to commemorate these market differentiators that have brought award-winning technology to a very competitive industry.”
