Frontline Introduces World's First Bluetooth Dual Mode Protocol Analyzer

    CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, April 19, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Frontline Test Equipment is pleased to announce the world's first Dual Mode protocol analyzer for the new Bluetooth 4.0 specification. With Dual Mode engineers can capture and display live data streams from both Bluetooth low energy and Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate (BR/EDR) "classic" Bluetooth within a single interface and in a single graphical coexistence view. Frontline's new Dual Mode Bluetooth ComProbe with ProbeSync enables the sharing of a common clock among multiple hardware capture interfaces providing much tighter synchronization of captured data than ever before.

Bluetooth low energy is a technology specifically designed for products that employ low data rates and require long battery life. Bluetooth low energy consumes a fraction of the power of BR/EDR "classic" Bluetooth. For engineers developing products that use both Bluetooth technologies Frontline's Dual Mode Bluetooth ComProbe will significantly reduce troubleshooting, debugging and development times while increasing overall productivity.

For years developers have trusted Frontline's solid, reliable and easy to use analyzers. Frontline's rich library of protocol and profile decoding is unmatched and continues to grow as new protocols are introduced and existing ones are improved. Frontline's new Dual Mode Bluetooth ComProbe leverages years of experience with their industry leading BR/EDR Bluetooth analyzer FTS4BT and their industry first Bluetooth low energy analyzer bringing power and simplicity to one interface where engineers view the data live as it is being captured.

Frontline is constantly updating their Bluetooth family of analyzers to reflect the latest changes in the Bluetooth specifications. This keeps developers on top of the latest updates and changes and helps them implement these changes in their designs. The right tool is a must. Frontline helps "Debug Communications Faster!"
