BLUETOOTH PRODUCTS: THE IMPORTANCE OF SDPPI CERTIFICATION

THE IMPORTANCE OF SDPPI CERTIFICATION FOR “BLUETOOTH” PRODUCTS

You must be familiar with Bluetooth technology. All telecommunication devices that have bluetooth features must be SDPPI certified in accordance with applicable regulations in Indonesia. Before discussing “why products with bluetooth need to be certified”, let’s find out what bluetooth is.

Bluetooth is a wireless communication technology that operates in the 2.4 GHz radio frequency band. Or in other words, Bluetooth is a ‘cable replacement’. Because bluetooth can be a substitute for cables, its use becomes easier. Bluetooth technology has a function to make it easier to share files/data, and connect devices with each other.

In this era of technology, many devices such as smart phones, smart homes, smart watches, smart printers and others have embedded bluetooth features. Indonesia is one of the big market opportunities for Technology Brand holders to market and sell the various Bluetooth products they have. The reason is because Indonesian people are known to be consumptive and like to follow trends.
