PSB
Corp. and
CETECOM S.A.
announce
partnership in
Bluetooth
wireless
technology
PSB
Corporation has
signed a global
agreement with
Centro de
Tecnología de
las
Comunicaciones,
S.A. (CETECOM)
in order to
develop and
enhance PSB
Corp’s
Bluetooth
services in the
Asia-Pacific
region.
CETECOM S.A.
will collaborate
with PSB Corp.
in the whole
process of
setting-up a
Bluetooth
Qualification
Test Facility
(BQTF),
including test
system supply,
training,
technical
assistance and
maintenance,
with the main
aim of assisting
companies in the
Asia-Pacific
region to
qualify their
Bluetooth
products.
In this way, PSB
Corp. will be
established as a
BQTF using the
BITE family of
platforms, which
include RF,
Protocols,
Profiles,
Engineering and
Blue Unit
testers.
The BITE RF
Tester
integrates a
wide variety of
Agilent
Technologies’
test equipment
(spectrum
analyser, in
band generator,
power supply,
wide-band
generator) with
CETECOM added
value such as
the integration
of the whole
rack test
system, the
development of
the test case
software and the
switching unit.
CETECOM
and PSB Corp.
announced this
agreement last
September 6,
2001 in a
Bluetooth
Product
Qualification
and Testing
Seminar at PSB
Corp. facilities
in Singapore.
CETECOM experts
provided the
latest
information
about the
Bluetooth
wireless
technology to
the Singaporean
telecommunications
industry.
Mr. Andres
Moreno,
Telecommunications
Director at
CETECOM, S.A., comments that “this
partnership will
increase the
strengths of
CETECOM S.A. and
BITE testers in
the Asia-Pacific
region and will
contribute to a
better knowledge
of the Bluetooth
wireless
technology in
this area”.
Mr Peter
Leong, Senior
Vice President
of PSB
Corporation’s
Testing Group,
said that “the
Asia Pacific
region would see
unprecedented
developments in
wireless
technologies.
This will
largely be
driven by
consumers’
demand for
connectivity,
ease of use and
portability
offered by
wireless
products. PSB
Corp’s
partnership with
CETECOM will
make Bluetooth
wireless
technology and
Bluetooth
testing products
and services
available at a
company’s
doorstep”.
John Boutsikaris,
general manager
of Agilent’s
Worldwide
Channel Partner
Unit, said,
“Agilent is
pleased to be
part of
CETECOM’s
expansion into
the Asia Pacific
region with a
state-of-the-art
Bluetooth
conformance lab.
This BQTF is a
perfect example
of Agilent’s
vision of the
future, where a
network of
partners works
together,
leveraging each
others’ core
competencies to
efficiently fill
an
application-specific
need.
“In this
example”,
Boutsikaris
said, “CETECOM
provides the
Bluetooth-application
and
system-engineering
expertise, PSB
Corp. provides
the local
presence in Asia
and Agilent
provides the
advanced
measurement
science and
local technical
support.
Together, the
network helps
manufacturers in
Asia meet market
windows for
their Bluetooth
enabled
products”.
