The EZURiO Embedded USB Bluetooth Module is specifically designed for applications that are using an embedded USB Bluetooth stack and need a robust Bluetooth implementation to replace a conventional USB adapter.  It has been designed to cope with rugged applications utilizing a direct solder connection that allows the main electronics section to be potted or enclosed within a metal housing, exposing a high performance multilayer ceramic antenna.

The module is based on CSR’s latest BlueCore BC04 chipset, giving access to the features of the new Bluetooth Version 2.0 specification.  The firmware exposes an HCI interface over a USB connection.  It is compatible with all major embedded Bluetooth stacks, and has been further optimised for Microsoft's CE stack.
