Let MindShare Make Your Bluetooth Product Development More Cost-Effective
Bluetooth wireless technology has shipped in over 1.5 Billion products worldwide yet is one of the most complex wireless standards to ever be developed. Those who develop the technology know just how complex it is. That’s why if you are actively developing or plan to develop Bluetooth wireless technology products, you can’t miss this course!
MindShare’s Comprehensive Bluetooth Product Development class and the optional 1-day Agency Certification Class is designed to take the newcomer to Bluetooth wireless technology and to make them effective at developing Bluetooth wireless products in just 4 to 5 days.
The class starts with an overview of the available development resources and then quickly dives into how to create a Bluetooth wireless device from scratch. By the end of the class, you will know where to find information, Bluetooth wireless components that can be integrated into products, you’ll learn about the protocols and profiles, and how to qualify your product(s).
The money that you could save with the information from the class will easily pay for the class itself!
