Rohde & Schwarz to present world’s first signaling test solution for Bluetooth® LE

March 2, 2018

Many manufacturers of Bluetooth® LE components find it challenging to test modules and sensors in compliance with the standard. These devices often have no connection for a control line, which is necessary for testing them in direct test mode (DTM) as stipulated by the Bluetooth® LE standard. The R&S CMW270 wireless connectivity tester from Rohde & Schwarz now enables over-the-air (OTA) tests on Bluetooth® LE devices, same as for Bluetooth® Classic devices, a function already implemented in the tester.

Munich, February 28, 2018 — Bluetooth Low Energy ( … Read More → "Rohde & Schwarz to present world’s first signaling test solution for Bluetooth® LE"
