BLUETOOTH TESTING
CONNECT WITH CONFIDENCE

Bluetooth labs and specialists in USA, Germany, China, Taiwan and Japan

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).
