Frontline is a world leader in protocol analysis tools including over a decade of experience and expertise in Bluetooth technologies. The Frontline flagship product, ComProbe BPA 500 Dual Mode Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer offers not only "Classic", "low energy", or both Bluetooth packet decoding and analysis, but can also be combined using ProbeSync , a technology that allows ComProbe analyzers to share a common clock, with the ComProbe 802.11 a/b/g/n Protocol Analyzer providing Bluetooth/802.11 (Wi-Fi) coexistence views.

Frontline uses a modular approach to protocol analysis and has created the ComProbe Protocol Analysis System (CPAS). Each Frontline ComProbe analyzer uses a specific hardware interface for the technology being tested (Bluetooth, 802.11, USB, High Speed UART, and SD) and the powerful CPAS software. This modular approach provides engineers with a rich set of analysis tools and features in a uniform, consistent, and intuitive software platform. The right tool is a must. With Frontline tools you can "Debug Communications Faster!".
