Smartcard consultancy and testing services
RFI is the first organisation in the UK to offer independent, commercial Smartcard development testing, consultancy and type approval services to manufacturers of Smartcard readers and terminals.
The Bluetooth qualification process helps manufacturers ensure their product complies with the Bluetooth specification.
The process calls for product testing by the manufacturer and by a Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility (BQTF) for certain tests.
It is the BQB's role to assess manufacturers' compliance folders in respect of each product which contains a precise product description and a Declaration of Compliance with the Bluetooth Specification.
On completion a BQB is responsible for listing products on the official database of Bluetooth qualified products.
Steve Flooks, RFI's Bluetooth Development Manager commented: "This is the first major step for RFI to establish itself within the Bluetooth industry.
RFI is committed to providing its customers with a complete Bluetooth Qualification program and plans to provide accredited services by April 2001.
In addition to providing Qualification services, RFI is also working with technology partners to provide a comprehensive Bluetooth development 'Solutions' service covering hardware, software and expert training".
