New Bluetooth® Compatibility
Certification Program - in the making by the CTIA
In order to improve the user experience for the growing number of
Bluetooth enabled mobile phones and headsets, CTIA is currently working
on a new certification program. The “Bluetooth Compatibility
Certification Program” is targeted to mobile phones and headsets sold in
the USA
and will be in addition to the current Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest
Group) Qualification Program.
In CTIA’s program, all Bluetooth enabled mobile phones and Bluetooth
headsets will require testing against a list of “CTIA approved
B-devices” by a CTIA authorized testing laboratory (CATL). Currently,
the program is in the pilot phase. At this time, US carriers may request
this testing of those wishing to sell products to them. However, when
the program is officially launched, successful testing will be required
by all US carriers. Official launch
is scheduled for January 2009.
7 layers, an experienced Bluetooth Qualified Test Facility (BQTF) and
CATL, conducts these new test services against its “B-device” library at
its laboratory in Irvine,
California
(USA).
Depending on the nature of your product, the test session includes
either testing against 11 mobile phone B-devices or testing against 13
headset B-devices.
7 layers is one of the leading BQTFs worldwide. With the early
implementation of CTIA compatibility testing, we are once again
indicating our commitment to this ever expanding wireless technology.
Make the most of our expertise!
In addition to testing for Bluetooth SIG Qualification, 7 layers now
performs all tests for the new CTIA Bluetooth Compatibility
Certification Program for Bluetooth enabled mobile phones and headsets!
