Bosch Connectivity Test Center

Enabling Connected Products to Become Market Ready

Rapid technological evolution and the exponential growth in connected product adoption has made the need for connectivity, compatibility, and interoperability ubiquitous. Connected products experience a high rate of field failures despite rigorous testing and mandatory certifications such as ‘Bluetooth Qualification’ (Bluetooth SIG) and ‘Wi-Fi Certified’ (Wi-Fi Alliance) before their market launch.

Frequent field issues have a detrimental impact on user experience, especially if early adopters face technical challenges. A large proportion of connected products experience a high rate of field failures due to lack of compatibility with heterogenous end-user devices - smartphones, tablets, wearables etc. End-user surveys by well-known market research firms and consumer feedback on connected goods reveal that field failures have a lasting negative effect on a brand's image and product success. Hence it is imperative to provide a best-in-class, seamless and hassle-free user experience.

The interoperability space, at present, is extremely complex and often overlooked. Bosch’s in-depth technical expertise, cross-domain knowledge, diversified product portfolio, and extensive worldwide presence have helped realize and deploy world-class connected solutions across geographies.
