Bluetooth®

Bluetooth® Technology is the global technology standard for wireless, short-range communication on personal area networks that enables devices to communicate with each other.


Bluetooth®'s impact has been substantial and widely felt, most notably in smartphones and tablets, as well as in Health and Fitness, Smart Home, and Wearables categories. Bluetooth® enables audio streaming, location services, data transferring and management of large-scale networks, just to name a few of its uses. It is also quickly becoming the default method to commission IoT devices, based on its ubiquitous use and availability in consumer electronics devices.

How We Support Bluetooth®

Incorporating Bluetooth® connectivity into your offering ensures that users all over the world can easily and seamlessly interact with your product and communicate with a host of 3rd party devices. Bluetooth® 's range, reliability and security have helped it become the global standard for short-range, device-to-device wireless connection.

Bluetooth® supports a number of key functionalities that have become standard for users of mobile devices. DSR is a proud member of the Bluetooth® Special Interest Group (SIG), the organizational body that oversees the development of the Bluetooth® standard. DSR has a deep understanding of Bluetooth® Technology, including the development of a Bluetooth® Stack adopted by many clients including Panasonic, Sony and Casio.
