Systems developers using the QNX Neutrino platform will soon be able to easily add Bluetooth wireless capabilities to their products thanks to a deal between QNX and Melbourne (Australia) based Clarinox Technologies.

Clarinox has extensive experience in Bluetooth and RFID development for embedded systems, and the alliance with QNX will take the fruits of that work into new international markets.

QNX technologies are built into a variety of mission-critical products such as routers, medical instruments and vehicle telematics units by companies including Cisco, General Electric and DaimlerChrysler.

"Clarinox Technologies has found working with QNX a pleasure. We are quite excited about the possibilities that could result from the porting of our infrastructure to QNX target platform. This allows us to support Bluetooth and RFID as packaged product on this platform," said Gokhan Tanyeri, director and founder of Clarinox.
