The BPA-D12 protocol analyser is claimed to be an effective and indispensable tool in the development of devices conforming to draft specification released by the Bluetooth SIG.

Mobiwave reckons its BPA-D12 protocol analyser is an effective and indispensable tool in the development of devices conforming to draft specification released by the Bluetooth SIG.

The new device has been extensively tested with major silicon developers by actively participating in industry events throughout the SIG standardisation process.

"We have been active and effective in many locations where major chipset designers are busy working, be it at San Diego or bay area in California or Charlottesville in Virginia, in France, Germany or Sweden", said Kok-Seng Lee, CEO of Mobiwave.

Bluetooth wireless chipset makers, protocol software developers, manufacturing engineers, quality engineers and certification engineers at qualification test facilities, have witnessed and used the powerful, intuitive and flexible BPA-D12.

The BPA-D12 supports the latest draft 2 revision 3 specification, including support of various scenarios in AFH (role-switch, park and sniff) and enhanced audio (EV3, EV4 and EV5).

Its real-time decoding, decryption and display of captured packets has proved to be of great help to developers.

For headset, hands-free and audio gateway developers, the capability to instantly playback eSCO packets through the computer's sound system is a valuable time saver.

"Mobiwave want to provide the best tools in timely manner to our customers.

We are committed to make the adoption of Bluetooth 1.2 specification for any manufacturer or developer without being stranded with obsolete, over-hype or expensive tools", said Lee.

"BPA-D12's SmartTandem ensures that our customer's investment will not be obsolete quickly due to the need for nonintrusive tracking of multiple adaptive hop sequence (AHS) or mix of 1.1, AHS(79) or AHS sets in real-time", Lee added.

With SmartTandem, BPA-D12 goes beyond supporting the current state of the art.

BPA-D12's SmartTandem paves a clear road to analysing complex pico-networks formed by mixed 1.1 and 1.2 specification devices or devices supporting scatter mode.

"We are serious about protecting our customers' investment to keep us relevant as their tool partner".
