CSRmesh Development Kit Accelerates IoT Product Development

Bluetooth technology innovator CSR has announced the launch of the CSRmeshTM development kit to make it easier for developers to use its recently launched CSRmesh Bluetooth Smart protocol. The development kit provides a family of development boards, a USB programmer, and software development platform (SDK) related resources such as sample applications that facilitate the rapid development of new low-power IoT connectivity products. The original SDK not only provides software support for networked lighting applications, but will also be available at the end of the year for CSRmesh-based home automation and other IoT applications. The CSRmeshTM Development Kit was fully launched through CSR distributors in July 2014.

The CSRmesh protocol is a disruptive technology solution launched earlier this year that enables the numerous Bluetooth Smart devices to be easily interconnected or directly manipulated from the same phone, tablet or PC. The solution integrates Bluetooth configuration and control protocols into CSR's proven Bluetooth Smart devices, such as the CSR101xTM family of products. CSRmesh has been used by many leading lighting manufacturers such as Samsung in its smart lighting solutions.

Rick Walker, CSR's IoT department marketing manager, said: "As the Internet of Things transitions from concept to reality, there are a variety of Bluetooth Smart products on the market. To this end, we have launched the CSRmesh development kit to provide developers with innovative development. Tools are needed to help them take advantage of significant opportunities in the IoT era. Our CSRmesh development kit will help them bring networked devices to market faster and easier."

The CSRmesh protocol uses Bluetooth Smart technology to transmit signals to other networked Bluetooth Smart devices, which in turn transmit the received signals back. Signals can be transmitted separately to a single device or simultaneously to multiple devices, or even to different devices belonging to multiple groups. Its control functions can be implemented by any smartphone with standard Bluetooth Smart on the market, or with standard controls such as lighting switches or control panels equipped with Bluetooth Smart.

Anthony Murray, senior vice president of CSR Business Unit, said: "Since the first single-chip Bluetooth device was sold 15 years ago and the CSRmesh development kit was launched this year, CSR has been committed to promoting Bluetooth technology innovation and has always maintained its leading position in the Bluetooth market. One of our key strategies is to promote our innovative solutions to developers through the introduction of easy-to-use development kits and enable them to develop next-generation IoT devices using our technology."

The CSRmesh development kit includes:

· 3 CSRmesh Bluetooth Smart Development Boards

· 1 USB programmer

· Battery and installation guide

Developers can also purchase other CSRmesh development boards to further extend their grid network development and testing. The CSRmesh full development kit is priced at $299 and its development board is priced at $49 per unit, which can be purchased through CSR distributors. Users can also get information about the CSR series of Bluetooth Smart development tools, kits and technical support at forum.csr.com and WiKi.csr.com.
