MindTree Consulting Releases Stereo Headset Software

In one of the first of its kind in the industry, MindTree’s solution integrates two disparate applications into one single module

MindTree Consulting, an international IT consulting and services company with a strong focus on product realization, today announced the availability of its Stereo Headset Solution.  MindTree’s unique solution integrates Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution 1.0 (A2DP) and Hands-Free (HFP) 1.0 profiles into a single embedded software suite.  With this solution, MindTree has successfully integrated two independent applications into a single optimized module, which will help reduce the complexity of integration for original equipment manufacturers.

Using the A2DP, the integrated headset can be used to listen to high-quality music from a Bluetooth-enabled audio source such as an MP3 player or cellular phone.  The integrated hands-free profile provides the perfect combination to the headset, enabling the user to use the same device as a hands-free unit in a car, thereby serving a wide range of applications.

“Today, users demand high quality, varied functionality and wide interoperability at an affordable cost.  With this software, which can provide stereo quality music and voice, MindTree has pioneered the concept of the “ultimate” wireless headset.  MindTree’s software can be embedded in a single processor solution to reduce cost and form factor,” said MindTree Consulting President and CEO, Product Realization Services, S. Janakiraman.

With its focus on product realization and Bluetooth, MindTree is strongly poised as an industry leader in licensing Bluetooth components.

MindTree has licensed its Bluetooth intellectual properties to several leading brand names from the U.S., Europe and Japan.  These IPs have been incorporated in cell phones, computer mouse, keyboards and headsets (hands-free).  MindTree’s software is shipped as a standard embedded option with major silicon and product vendors.  MindTree’s Baseband Controller is proven in silicon and has been successfully integrated on System-on-a-Chip for hand-held devices.  It is also the core of high-end Bluetooth Protocol Exerciser product.  MindTree has an end-to-end approach to Bluetooth, offering BQB-qualified baseband-controllers, protocol stacks and profiles.

MindTree also offers its world-class, design-engineering services to build prototypes for Bluetooth-enabled devices, leveraging its global delivery model and technology expertise to help clients bring their products to market faster.
