Enhancements Streamline Qualification Process for Members, Gets Products to Market Faster
Following months of beta testing and refinement, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group has announced the availability of an updated Qualification Program for member products designed with Bluetooth wireless technology. For member companies, the new program facilitates more efficient development of Bluetooth devices by automating many of the processes, increasing consistency in how the process is applied while reducing time and cost of the qualification process. The improved program better ensures interoperability among devices, verifies conformance to Bluetooth specifications and strengthens the Bluetooth SIG’s ability to enforce compliance.
“More Bluetooth products are being qualified than ever before and we wanted to streamline the process for members while continuing to improve interoperability between Bluetooth devices,” said Michael Foley, Ph. D., executive director of the Bluetooth SIG. “The improvements we’ve made accomplish both objectives.”
Approximately 90 Bluetooth products are sent through the Bluetooth SIG’s qualification program each month. The updated program will significantly shorten the amount of time invested by each company per product.
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), headquartered in Bellevue, WA, is comprised of leaders in the telecommunications, computing, consumer electronics, automotive and network industries, and is driving development of Bluetooth wireless technology and bringing it to market. The Bluetooth SIG includes promoter group companies Agere, Ericsson, Intel, Lenovo, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia and Toshiba, along with over 6000 Associate and Adopter member companies.
