Bluetooth Market
Installed base of Bluetooth enabled products reached 1 Billion devices in November of 2006. Every week, 13 million Bluetooth units are shipped. (~675 million per year or 21 every second) Every working day, more than five new Bluetooth enabled products are qualified. (~1300 per year) Broad surveys have shown that the Bluetooth brand is recognized by more than 75% of respondents worldwide. (Millward Brown internet survey for Bluetooth SIG: Bluetooth.org)

Bluetooth Qualification Program

Bluetooth Qualification requires certain testing standards for all designs and products which use the Bluetooth wireless technology. Qualification is a necessary pre-condition of the intellectual property license for the Bluetooth wireless technology. Qualification is also a necessary prerequisite in order to apply the Bluetooth trademark to a design or product. Bluetooth Profile Tuning Suite has been developed as a reference test system to ensure Bluetooth interoperability.
