BLUETOOTH TESTING
CONNECT WITH CONFIDENCE
Bluetooth technology has been widely used in personal handsets, laptops, wireless handheld devices and multimedia devices for over two decades.
As well as adhering to regulatory standards, conformance and interoperability testing is essential to validate that a Bluetooth-enabled device will work and pair well with other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
The Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) was founded in 1998 and oversees specification development, qualification programmes and trademark protection. Bluetooth-enabled products for consumers, automotive uses and medical uses must comply with Bluetooth SIG requirements, if they are to obtain and use the Bluetooth Mark and Bluetooth technology.
Bluetooth is an IEEE802.15-based short range technology and there are many specifications, from version 2.0 up to 5.x (including Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth Smart and Bluetooth Ready).
