Cetecom Spain has upgraded its BITE platform to test Bluetooth V1.2 devices.

This conformance tester now supports the new TTCN test cases for Bluetooth V1.2 in addition to the previous V1.1 test suites.

Version 1.2 of the core specifications provides significant enhancements, such as: adaptive frequency hopping to eliminate interference; new eSCO packets to improve voice quality; accelerated discovery procedures to provide faster connections between Bluetooth devices; L2CAP flow and error control to avoid errors in transmission when sending large files; and revised QoS.

Cetecom Spain is also providing the signalling system and TTCN executable test suites to Rohde and Schwarz for use in its own Bluetooth protocol tester.

Andres Moreno, Telecommunications Director at Cetecom Spain commented: "This is a natural evolution of our BITE platforms and shows Cetecom commitment with the Bluetooth Wireless Technology.

We are seeing a lot of interest from product manufacturers and BQTFs to get conformance testers supporting V1.2, and we are now ready to help them.

Version 1.2 is a great step forward for the Bluetooth wireless technology and we want to take part of it.

We are also happy to license to Rohde and Schwarz our Bluetooth technology".
