      Motorola, IBM, Toshiba Team On Bluetooth Technology
      (06/12/00, 12:40 p.m. ET)
      By Reuters

      NEW YORK - Motorola on Monday said that IBM and Toshiba will work with the telecommunications equipment and chip maker to offer Bluetooth technology across parts of their PC lines.

      Bluetooth is a high-capacity, shortwave radio link that enables electronic devices such as cell phones and computers to hook up remotely.

      Motorola (stock: MOT) also said it is introducing a Bluetooth-enabled car kit, which lets users transfer calls between a cell phone and a car phone. The Schaumburg, Ill.-based company said it expects to announce specific automotive Bluetooth contracts later this year.

      Motorola said it will also be offering cards and accessories that would let a PC and a handheld computer wirelessly exchange files and synchronize data.

      The company said it is working with its Digianswer subsidiary to supply an embedded Bluetooth technology for use inside PC and peripheral devices such as printers. It said smaller, lower-power modules are expected to be available later this year and in early 2001.

      Motorola said a Bluetooth clip-on accessory for certain Motorola wireless phones is expected to be rolled out later this year. The company said embedded Bluetooth technology inside some Motorola phones is expected in the near future.

      Shares of Motorola closed at 34 7/8 on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, down 1 3/16 on the day.
