RFI becomes a TCB for the FCC
Radio Frequency Investigation (RFI) has been appointed as a Telecommunications Certification Body (TCB) by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the USA.
RFI is currently the only Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility in the UK.
The market for EDR is expected to grow rapidly as product manufacturers migrate more of their products to benefit from the three times higher data rates and lower power consumption figures (key for the battery life of mobile handsets), both available with CSR's BlueCore4 product family for EDR.
More than 1000 end products now use CSR's BlueCore Bluetooth technology.
One year after the launch of the Bluetooth v2.0+EDR specification, CSR's BlueCore4 remains the only EDR silicon inside any qualified end product.
RFI plans to further extend its Bluetooth EDR test capability to include products that incorporate EDR technology based on other chipset manufacturers' technology.
It is predicted that by the year-end all Bluetooth chipsets will support EDR.
Mobile phones remain by far the largest single market for Bluetooth silicon.
In 2004 CSR supplied its BlueCore silicon to 55% of all Bluetooth-enabled handset designs.
CSR's BlueCore technology accounts for over 50% of volume Bluetooth silicon shipments.
