The Bluetooth Test Set MT8852B is the market leading RF measuring instrument for R&D, design verification and production test of a wide range of products that integrate Bluetooth technology. Examples include: phones, headsets and M2M products, as well as modules. The MT8852B provides full SIG compliant testing for Bluetooth Core Specifications v1.2, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0+HS, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2.
Bluetooth v4.2 capabilities with MT8852B (Option)
Tx Tests : Length of analyzed data changed from 37 to 255 octets
Rx Tests : Set max. output data length to 255 octets
EUT Control: Using Direct Test Mode control of the Bluetooth Smart or Smart Ready device, the MT8852B’s EUT Control configures the test data length to a maximum of 255 octets.

Bluetooth Low Energy Driving M2M and IoT
- The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG) announced the Bluetooth v4.2 upgrade to the Bluetooth low energy specification on December 3, 2014.
- Following the release of the low-power-consumption Bluetooth low energy specification in 2010, it has been used increasingly by more smartphones and tablets, offering many new applications.
- Bluetooth v4.1 announced in 2013 supports strengthened functions including IPv6, automatic reconnection, etc.
- 96% of wearable devices released so far use Bluetooth Smart, which is becoming the de facto standard for wearables.
