BT900-US-03

## BT900-US Series Bluetooth v4.0 Dual Dongle **Intelligent BT / BLE Dongle featuring smartBASIC** 

## **NO EXTERNAL BLUETOOTH STACK NEEDED!** 

Laird’s BT900-US product expands upon the BT900 series of modules for embedded devices, to leverage Classic BT and Bluetooth Low Energy support to PCs, laptops and mobile computers.  BT900-US provides a simple approach for adding into virtually ANY operating system with a USB port. Let Laird’s innovative BT900-US and decades of expertise in Bluetooth design speed your end to end wireless application to market. 

## **FLEXIBLE FOR ANY CHALLENGE: A COMPLETE SOLUTION** 

The BT900-US USB dongle has been developed to take advantage of the BT900-SA module, providing a simple and easy way to add Classic Bluetooth, BLE Central, and BLE Peripheral mode to virtually ANY operating system with a USB interface. Leverage the BT900-US to enable any Bluetooth SPP device or BLE sensor to communicate to any PC, laptop, or mobile computer without any complicated installation or software support requirements. 

## **EMBEDDED BLUETOOTH MADE EASY** 

A smart design is one you don't have to rewrite. Laird’s smartBASIC acts as the bridge between software and hardware, enabling an application written for one smartBASIC radio to work on any other. Our event-driven smart BASIC language, unique to the wireless industry, offers built-in functions that replace thousands of lines of C code with a few abstracted lines of smart BASIC. Leverage Laird’s years of Bluetooth expertise: write once and deploy anywhere with Laird’s line of smart BASIC-ready modules and devices. 

**– GLOBAL APPROVALS MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.** 

Laird’s BT900-US carries several modular FCC, IC, CE, and Bluetooth SIG approvals, meaning you don’t need costly and time-intensive testing to bring certified Bluetooth to market. Certifications from worldwide regulatory bodies take time, effort, financial cost, and ultimately slow development. Laird’s approvals extend to your design with no additional testing, making them a fast and efficient route to production.
