Product Description
BCD210DS-02 Sena Parani-BCD-210-DS, HCI Bluetooth embedded OEM module DIP type, Class 2 with SMA connector, HCI
The BCD210 supports Class 2 Bluetooth transmission level for shorter communication distance up to 300m at line-up sight. The BCD210 supports UART, USB, I2C, PCM, PIO interfaces for the communication with the OEM products.
BCD210 series – APPLICATIONS
– High-speed data transceiver systems for short distance communication
– PCs/Personal Digital Assistants (PDA)
– Bluetooth USB dongle
– Bluetooth serial dongle
– Bluetooth access points
– Industrial automation devices
– Automotive applications
– Medical Systems
– Remote metering devices
– POS (Point-of-sales) devices
The BCD210 is provided with Bluetooth v2.0 EDR compatible firmware runs internally for SPP (Serial Port Profile) applications by default. The SPP firmware supports up to 4 simultaneous multiple connections and is designed to work out-of-box for real world SPP applications such as POS (Point-of-sales), industrial automation, remote metering and other various applications. Optionally, the BCD210 can be supplied with only software stack up to HCI level so entire Bluetooth stack runs on the host side for the application such as USB dongles for computers or OEM manufacturers can even develop and embed their own firmware into the BCD210.
The BCD210 is fully qualified with Bluetooth v2.0 EDR specification so OEM manufacturers can save cost and time for overall OEM product certifications, which makes the BCD210 ideal solution for larger volume and cost sensitive applications.

Bluetooth v2.0 supports improved AFH function. AFH function is to mitigate the interference between WiFi and Bluetooth radios by automatically avoiding the active WiFi channel from Bluetooth link. However, AFH does not provide a complete solution making WiFi and Bluetooth work together in harmony. It is highly recommended for users to test their wireless system enough before deployment since the overall system performance is affected by various environmental factors such as distance between them.
