Series of Class 1 and Class 2 Bluetooth modules from Fujitsu

Fujitsu has released the MBH7BTZ series of Class 1 and Class 2 Bluetooth modules that Fujitsu claims allows designers to easily and cost-effectively add wireless capability to their designs. These devices feature embedded Serial Port Profile (SPP) firmware, a compact footprint and a broad command/event list to simplify and reduce integration time while meeting a wide variety of performance requirements.

The MBH7BTZ Class 1 and Class 2 modules offer a compact footprint. For example, a surface mount MBH7BTZ39 Class 2 module measures just 12.4 x 9.4 x 1.5mm. These modules are suggested for applications such as handheld terminals, mobile printers, scanners, barcode readers, portable health care and industrial control devices, and any Bluetooth-enabled devices for simple cable replacement. The MBH7BTZ series is compliant with Bluetooth Specification Version 2.1 + EDR and RoHS directive. It supports UART (9.6k~1,382.4kbps) as the host interface, and communication distances of 10 - 30meters (Class 2) and up to 100meters (Class 1).

To facilitate integration, the modules do not require any in-host Protocol Stack. These products are Bluetooth certified as 'End Product (QDID: B16068),' allowing SIG members to acquire Bluetooth certification without any charge.

The MBH7BTZ series includes shielded, SMT modules either with an onboard antenna or with an external antenna.
