EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ALLION FINAL REPORT

As an international product validation and consulting engineering company, Allion Labs, Inc. (Allion)
keeps pace with all the latest technology with specialized teams composed of experts in hardware
and software analysis. These experts composed this test proposal, which focuses on Bluetooth
Compatibility testing of Holtek BT Beacon. This proposal outlines the overall methodology suggested
by our expert staff, including detailed descriptions of both the test plan and test environment.
The ideal scenario for the beacon should be, that it activates exactly at the set range and deactivate
when the user is out of the range, but the 2.4 GHz frequency can be affected by the physical
surroundings. This is important to be aware of because when the Bluetooth signal is attenuated, or
lessened, this affects the signal strength received by a mobile device.
The following table lists potential risks and possible causes for Holtek BT Beacon. Our test experts
compiled this information to guide the proposal design process based on their prior test experience,
customer consultation, and independent research. As a rule, Allion recommends that quality testing
begin at the early design stage, since at this point in the process; there is greater freedom to alter the
design with minimal impacts on downstream project schedules and associated costs.
POTENTIAL RISKS POSSIBLE CAUSES
Accuracy of BLE Beacon Signals from a beacon are not detected Bluetooth signal is attenuated, or lessened

2. Measurement Data Analysis
A BLE beacon is simply a device that uses BLE node advertisements to broadcast its services to BLE clients
that can read the information offered. In BLE beacon applications, the BLE node operates in only an

advertising mode using GAP to send information in the advertisement packets. BLE beacons do not accept
connection requests from clients, it is a simple one-to-many broadcast that enables BLE beacons to consume
very little power.
The “Interval” setting determines how often the beacon will transmit its advertising packet. Higher interval
settings actually cause major issues with signal stability. However, we have also determined that using the
100ms interval setting recommended for iBeacon, is actually overkill for this issue.
The following analysis shows the interval for DUT on all mobile phones.
