A new chip of Cambridge Silicon Radio makes a keep house where all electronic devices vanop distance to Server are, something less a future dream. The British business combines in its last product Bluetooth with a simple webserver. Because of this becomes it for instance possible videorecorders to make that your wireless vanop the pc can program.

Many edge equipment as routers, breedbandmodems and network printers use now all an internal webserver. An user must then only in a browser the IP-address intikken, possibly followed through a password, after which he change can the institutions via a webpage. This has as large advantage that the apparatuses vanop distance managed can become - skilful as pakweg a router in the cellar stands. Moreover the apparatus can be built more compactly, because there on the housing no place for tests and a screen must be.

CSR anticipates to combine on that trend, through such webinterface with thread lynx possibilities. Besides thinks the business further then edge equipment for the pc. The BlueCore-chip would fit also in consumers electronics, as videorecorders and other huishoudappliancelen. That is no future music: during a demonstration let marketing manager Simon Finch a DVD-player see that vanop a notebook served became.,. Other examples its a webcam that wireless with a pc connects, a central heating that vanop the office are activated or the koffiezet in the canteen that your start vanop your desk.

The chip takes advantage of IPV6, the successor of the internet protocol that currently the Internet drives (IPv4). That is no coincidence, for IPV4 reaches can hang gradually a ceiling in the number of addresses - and consequently apparatuses - that simultaneously on the Internet. If that recover million domestic apparatuses, is the measure totally full. IPV6, that in the coming years becomes introduced, late much more connections to.

The business chose for Bluetooth and not for WiFi because the much more cheaply to produce is. The chips self is very compact - only 6 on 6 mm - through which he quite easily built in can become in compact designs.

When it appeared precisely domestic apparatuses with Bluetooth, someone else is affair. Interest of large manufacturers is there in every respect. CSR, that all chips furnishes for headsets and PDA, become financed through businesses as Compaq, Intel, Philips and Sony.
