Sigma expands global cooperation with Ericsson within Bluetooth

Published: 3 February 2001 y., Saturday
Sigma and Ericsson have signed an agreement for sales and support of the trial version of Ericsson's first GPRS-telephone based on Bluetooth technology, the R520. The agreement is an extension of Sigma's global cooperation with Ericsson within Bluetooth. The R520 complements Sigma's already broad range of development tools for Bluetooth applications and products. Development in Bluetooth technology has entered a strong expansion phase. A large number of companies in all parts of the world are developing new products and applications. As the leader in Bluetooth development, Ericsson has selected Sigma as a strategic and global cooperation partner. Sales and support of most Bluetooth tools from Ericsson are managed today through Sigma Comtec, a Sigma Group company, and a website with e-commerce functionality. Ericsson's R520, the second GPRS-telephone on the market, is now available through the same channels. The Bluetooth technology can be used for wireless communications via mobile telephones, computers and many other products for both professional users and private consumers. Sigma's responsibilities are focused on sales of the new mobile telephone and support for developers and companies within Bluetooth SIG, which builds systems and prototypes with the R520 telephone as the platform or a key component. The support services will be focused exclusively on the Bluetooth technology.
