Bluetopia + LE

Bluetopia+LE was a Bluetooth protocol stack that comprised two distinct offerings to support Dual Mode and Single Mode Bluetooth devices. Dual Mode Bluetooth devices incorporated BR/EDR and low energy Bluetooth support in the same chipset. Bluetopia +LE Dual combined the standard Bluetopia protocol stack with the additional support for Bluetooth low energy. Single Mode Bluetooth devices supported only Bluetooth low energy. Bluetopia+LE Single was a protocol stack that provided support for single mode devices only. It was based on a legacy version of Bluetopia but had been condensed to fulfill tighter memory obligations.
