Development of the "BTS01 Series"
Bluetooth® Smart Module

　We are pleased to announce that we have developed and started taking orders for the "BTS01 Series" Bluetooth® Smart Module, which has a built-in antenna compliant with Bluetooth® Note1) Version 4.0 (Bluetooth® Low Energy Note2) Single Mode).
　This Series uses a complete module installed with SMK Firmware and a tool made by Nordic Semiconductor, and a blank module that enables customers to develop their own software is also provided. Further, a wide variety of standards relating to Bluetooth® SIG and the Radio Act are due to be acquired for stand-alone modules, so there is no need for customers to acquire standards for equipment using the module, contributing to reduced initial costs when releasing a product.
　We will continue to work in the future towards the development of wireless modules that meet customers' demands.
