“The smallest Bluetooth AP in the industry” runs Linux

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Bluegiga, a company based in Finland, is offering what it claims to be the “smallest Bluetooth Access Point in the industry.”  The BT AP runs an embedded Linux OS on a 200MHz ARM9 processor.

The heart of Access Point 3201 is Bluegiga’s customized Linux operating system with a number of built- in applications, such as SPP-over-IP and ObexSender (for Bluetooth marketing). For Bluetooth wireless technology, the product has extremely advanced, reliable and easy-to-use software interface called iWRAP, which enables you to connect your Bluetooth equipped devices into TCP/IP networks with built-in security and reliability.

To me, at least, it seems like a rather awesome product. I simply find it amazing how much can be packed into so little space. Not to mention the inherit coolness of running Linux on something that tiny.
