The licensing of Ampe'd UP Host BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) software protocol stack for chipmakers and IoT players who want the convenience of owning the source code to further develop their own BLE into their SoC's (System on Chips.) The software protocol supports Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as voice, wearables, audio, automotive, health, appliances, toys, consumer electronics and more.

"With a large number of new BLE SoCs and IC integrations, there is a significant market opportunity for licensing our embedded Bluetooth Smart protocol stack," said Kelly Simone, president and chief technology officer of Amp'ed RF Wireless Technology.

Amp'ed UP Host BLE protocol stack supports Bluetooth specifications for v4.2. There will be an update tov5.0 coming soon.

Unlike other providers, Amp'ed RF also offers many different source code and porting options for the use of the BLE stack.

Amp'ed RF provides wireless devices such as the ART6212 and BT53 to demonstrate the robust capabilities of Amp'ed UP Host BLE.

"All our products are known for being fast. Now we're helping to speed up the engineering of Internet of Things," said Naz, who notes that the company, along with the protocol stack software, offers porting service and ongoing maintenance contracts and a roadmap to BLE 5.0. should you need it.
