UK’s CSR has been making waves in the BlueTooth and eGPS waters, so it’s only fitting that it’s the first to cram Bluetooth, eGPS, and FM all on one chip. The BlueCore7 silicon combines Bluetooth v2.1+EDR, ULP Bluetooth (or Wibree), eGPS (which they say works better in indoor and other non-GPS-friendly locales), and FM Tx and Rx in what they say is a major step in reducing the size, cost, and power needs of wireless devices. CSR boasts that this chip integrates “more wireless technologies on a single chip than any other product on the market.” Who are we to argue? They expect to have BlueCore 7 to be available in volume starting in Q4 2008, when you’ll be able to listen to FM radio on your Bluetooth headset while finding your satellite position indoors.
