CSR selects protocol/profile tester as the qualification test tool for its laboratory and appoints technology partner for Bluetooth testing services
Cetecom Spain reports that it has signed a Bluetooth services agreement with Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR), a manufacturer of Bluetooth chipsets.
Under this agreement CSR buys a Bite protocol/profile tester as the qualification test tool for its laboratory and chooses Cetecom Spain as the technology partner for Bluetooth testing services.
CSR is expanding market activities and investing in the development of single-chip Bluetooth solutions.
The CSR test team would test each new firmware version before release and decided to purchase a Bite protocol/profile tester to be used as reference system for internal validation purposes.
Regarding qualification of CSR developments, CSR decided that Cetecom Spain will conduct all the protocol and profile testing and BQB review necessary.
CSR will also co-operate with Cetecom in the development related to new test specifications and provision of CSR Pre/DPIT devices. "Cetecom Bite tester is the most effective BB and LM test platform for CSR's needs, and has already allowed CSR to reduce the time required to carry out a full set of baseband and LM tests from several days to only a couple of hours.
The collaborative spirit of Cetecom and the flexibility of its platform while the TTCN was being developed was a key element of CSR's choice of partner and has been valuable not only to CSR but, I believe, to Cetecom and the wider Bluetooth community", said James Collier, technical director and co-founder of CSR.
Rafael Garc¡a, Bluetooth manager of Cetecom commented: "This agreement is a vote of confidence in our products and services, being this fact a big step to enhance our prestige within the Bluetooth industry.
This win to win cooperation can be seen as an advice to Bluetooth developers which are looking forward to increasing the ratio between product quality and costs".
