Previously we Spotlighted GRAN-JANSEN AS, because we were impressed with their Single Chip Frequency
Hop Transceiver IC. GRAN-JANSEN later changed its name to BlueChip Communication AS.
They are a leading manufacturer of
singlechip transceivers suited for LPR-applications. The company also released its latest
range of ultra low-power transceivers specially designed to make battery operated equipment
wireless. The transceiver chips are supplied together with optimized reference designs and
software for interfacing to host applications. BlueChip's latest development, a one square
inch shielded RF module that can be surface mounted, is also available as part of an evaluation
kit, and provides the quickest route to a complete LPR design. For customers having specific
requirements, BlueChip may also deliver customized chips and solutions. Click on their logo below for more Information:
Editor's Note: BlueChip Communication was acquired by Micrel Semiconductor Inc.
in late 2001 and is now Micrel's Center of Competence for RadioWire products. They are
responsible for product development and sales/marketing support. You can visit Micrel's
