Cambridge, UK — The CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) BlueCore single-chip solution has been chosen by Microsoft to add Bluetooth wireless technology to its Athens prototype PC.

The PC is being used to demonstrate how multiple forms of communication can be merged into a consistent and streamlined design. BlueCore has been used to enable integrated wireless telephony functionality that would allow a user to utilise a central communications unit via a wireless handset and headset.

The Athens prototype PC is intended for business use and aims to provide a vision of future business desktop PC technology that will provide a seamless and natural experience for both communications and collaboration.
