Bluetooth Validation Lab
Automated testing, protocol-level analysis, stress testing, and energy profiling—all in an RF-isolated environment. Get repeatable, actionable results before you ship.
The Firmware Validation Gap
You've built your Bluetooth LE firmware and it "works on your desk." But real validation requires infrastructure most teams don't have.
No Automated Testing
Every firmware change requires manual testing. No CI/CD integration means bugs slip through and regressions go unnoticed.
Environmental Noise
Your office has WiFi, other BLE devices, and RF interference. Test results vary day to day. You can't reproduce issues reliably.
Surface-Level Visibility
Mobile apps show you "connected" or "not connected." You can't see what's happening at the protocol level when things go wrong.
Untested Edge Cases
What happens with 10 simultaneous connections? Rapid reconnects? Malformed packets? You won't know until customers find out.
What We Validate
Comprehensive firmware validation using professional-grade equipment in an RF-isolated test environment.
Automated Regression
Scriptable test suites that run on every firmware build. GATT operations, connection flows, and state machines validated automatically.
Protocol Analysis
Packet-level inspection of advertising, connections, pairing, and GATT operations. See exactly what your firmware is doing on the air.
Stress & Chaos Testing
Multi-device orchestration simulating connection flooding, rapid reconnects, concurrent clients, and unhappy path scenarios.
RF Isolation
Testing in a Ramsey STE3000M shielded enclosure. No interference, no variables—just your firmware and controlled test conditions.
Energy Profiling
BlueJoule™ benchmark plus custom workload analysis. Know your actual power consumption, not datasheet estimates.
Security Validation
Pairing flow verification, encryption state validation, and bonding behavior analysis at the protocol level.
Equipment: Ramsey STE3000M RF enclosure • RFcreations mini-moreph & moreph30 sniffers • BleuIO automation dongles • Joulescope JS220
Automation-First Approach
We don't just run manual tests and send you a PDF. Our validation is built on scriptable, repeatable test automation that can integrate with your development workflow.
- Scriptable test suites using BleuIO Python API
- Automated GATT operation validation
- Protocol state machine verification
- Regression detection across firmware versions
- Machine-readable results for CI/CD integration
Run the same tests on every build. Know immediately when something breaks.
# Example: Automated connection test def test_connection_stability(): # Connect to DUT in RF enclosure device = bleuio.connect("AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF") # Verify GATT services discovered assert device.discover_services() # Write characteristic, verify response response = device.write("0x1234", data) assert response.status == "success" # Sniffer validates PDU sequence packets = sniffer.capture(duration=5) assert validate_sequence(packets) ✓ Test passed
Energy Profiling with BlueJoule™
Every validation includes standardized energy benchmarking using the BlueJoule™ methodology. Get an objective score you can compare across firmware versions and against other devices.
EM-eralds = 80 / Joules per day
1 EM-erald ≈ 1 CR2032-month of battery life
Your report includes battery life projections for CR2032, CR2450, AA Lithium, or your custom battery capacity—based on measured data, not datasheet estimates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the turnaround time?
Essential: 3-5 business days. Professional: 5-7 business days. Continuous tier gets priority scheduling. Times start when we receive your device.
What do I need to send?
Your device, any required accessories (charger, debugger if needed), and documentation on how to put it into test modes and flash firmware.
Can you test custom GATT services?
Yes. Send us your GATT specification and we'll develop custom test cases for your specific service characteristics and behaviors.
What if you find critical issues?
We flag them immediately with specific packet captures and recommendations. The debrief call helps you prioritize fixes based on severity.
Can you help fix the issues?
Yes! Our consulting services can help you implement fixes and re-test. Many clients combine validation with consulting.
Do you test LE Audio devices?
Yes, we have the RFcreations audiopod for LE Audio protocol analysis. Contact us for LE Audio-specific validation requirements.
