11 M 50 M 170 M 430 M 660 M
Microsoft XP support will further catalyze adoption Over 700 Bluetooth qualified products; over 350 end-user
products (over 100 listed in the last 3 months) Peripherals, gateways, consumer electronics, car kits…
Interoperability (ease of use) is the watch word… main focus of SIG for 2002 and 2003“Bluetooth will likely be the most successful wireless interface ever,
potentially shipping in the billions of units by late in the decade.” – Martin Reynolds, Gartner Group

“If any one technology has emerged the past few years that will be explosive in its impact, it's 802.11.”
– Bill Gates, Chairman Microsoft
Market Update:WLAN is on a roll…
Wi-Fi certified products experienced 504% compound growth since 2000
Certified interoperability and user experience are catalysts 2.4 GHz products represent greater than 40% of
market through 2006* High-speed WLAN expected to contribute to market
refresh and longevity 802.11g will be strong in consumer electronics and virgin
WLAN deployments

Complementary Technologies That Support Combination Usage Models
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drive demand for one another Gateway platforms such as PCs and set-top boxes
will benefit from Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination Existing combo platforms: IBM a31 and x30;

Combo Wi-Fi/Bluetooth is a Natural Market, but Coexistence Is Crucial
Testing of available combo platforms confirms coexistence issues*
Adaptive Frequency Hopping may be optional in 1.2, and is only good outside 0.5 meters according to the BT SIG*
MAC-switching is NOT suitable for voice, or adjacent channel interference Sim-Op is the only technology capable of true “coexistence without
compromise”TM

Why Sim-Op™ Is Superior
Bluetooth or WLAN or Combination… It’s all completely automatic for the end user
Analog, digital, antenna, software techniques used to provide system-level approach
No applications restrictions – Sim-Op technology provides “Coexistence without Compromise”™
Voice – TR is the only combo solution to support simultaneous Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth voice
Data – All combination data applications IP-protected differentiation
Mobilian has strong IP portfolio centered on coexistence Transferable to other ISM-band technologies
