The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) launched an enhanced version of its Bluetooth Profile Tuning Suite (PTS), which is designed to simulate multiple Bluetooth devices and profiles for interoperability testing.

The PTS Version 3 adds test suites for seven profiles that will address new applications like health devices and streaming video, support for Windows Vista and an improved user interface, according to the Bluetooth SIG.

The PTS lets companies test in-house to save time and help improve interoperability.

Many of the profiles supported in PTS Version 3 address new and future application arenas including streaming video, remote control and health and fitness monitoring, which will be made possible with the release of Bluetooth high speed technology and Bluetooth low energy technology in 2009, said the Bluetooth SIG.

The new or updated profiles include:

  • Audio/video remote control profile (AVRCP 1.3).
  • Video distribution profile (VDP).
  • Health device profile (HDP).
  • Dial-up networking (DUN).
  • Phone book access profile (PBAP).
  • Basic printing profile (BPP).
  • Subscriber Identity Module access profile (SAP).
