Frontline Introduces World's Only Bluetooth Low Energy Protocol Analyzer

    CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, September 24, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Frontline Test Equipment is pleased to announce the release of the world's first protocol analyzer for the new Bluetooth low energy specification.

Adoption of the Bluetooth low energy specification isn't planned until the end of 2009, but developers all over the world are already using Frontline's analyzer in the development of their new products and to get ahead of the competition.

Bluetooth low energy is a technology specifically designed for products that employ low data rates and require long battery life, as Bluetooth low energy consumes a fraction of the power of classic Bluetooth. The first Bluetooth low energy products are expected to be in the health, sports and fitness areas. Products employing Bluetooth low energy such as blood pressure monitors, temperature sensors, pedometers, remote controls and more should start seeing the light of day in 2010.

Developing Bluetooth low energy products require the right tools, and developers have been relying on Frontline's solid, reliable and easy to use analyzers for years. Building on our industry leading Basic Rate/EDR Bluetooth analyzer, FTS4BT , Frontline brings their experience to Bluetooth low energy. The Frontline Bluetooth low energy Analyzer is an indispensible tool for developing products based on a new technology that is changing day to day. Frontline is constantly updating the Bluetooth low energy analyzer to reflect the latest changes in the spec, which keeps developers on top of the latest changes and helps them implement these changes in their designs.
