Frontline Sodera Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer BR/EDR Base (2014-10005-001)

Supporting all profiles and protocols through Bluetooth 5, Teledyne LeCroy's Frontline Sodera concurrently captures all over-the-air and HCI (with provided cables) Bluetooth packets (BR/EDR/LE) across all channels, including paging, inquiry, secure connections, secure simple pairing, and data exchange packets. Simply start the analyzer and begin capturing - the raw data can be decrypted, decoded and filtered later. Frontline Sodera’s software-defined radio architecture means that it not only supports Bluetooth 5, but is ready to grow with updates to the Bluetooth specification.

Frontline Sodera provides the ultimate in portability, allowing developers and QA engineers to effortlessly capture data not just in the lab, but in automotive and other remote settings. “Excursion Mode” allows the developer to capture all Bluetooth traffic in the air with the push of one button, completely independent of a PC connection. Data can be captured in the real-world setting, then decrypted and analyzed back at the lab. Supported by Frontline Sodera’s compact size and quick-change battery, testing in automobiles and other power-sparse environments becomes not just possible, but absolutely convenient.

Easier Root Cause Analysis of Bluetooth Protocol and Audio Issues

Frontline Sodera works with the Bluetooth Protocol Expert System and the included Bluetooth Audio Expert System software modules to quickly pinpoint Bluetooth protocol-related issues. The Bluetooth Protocol Expert System provides developers at all experience levels with concise in-depth analysis of configuration, HCI/transport, and Bluetooth profile issues and errors. Additionally, it provides test tools which allow the user to actively enhance their debugging scenarios for greater precision and more robust products by synchronizing audio, codec, and Bluetooth protocol events directly back to the protocol trace.

The Bluetooth Audio Expert System, included as standard with the Frontline software, provides real-time visualization of audio impairment events that are time correlated with Bluetooth protocol and transport events, enabling the user to clearly see and thoroughly understand what’s happening at the precise moment audio problems occur. No more guesswork- the Bluetooth Audio Expert System visually and in real time correlates protocol, codec and audio events to the moment of the audio error, making root cause diagnoses faster and easier than ever.
