The use of Bluetooth devices now helps people connect to other devices without the difficulty of using cables.
One of the benefits of this technology can be found in Bluetooth earphones. However, many people still do not understand that these devices are required to have SDPPI/Postel certification.
SDPPI certification can help ensure that devices function properly in Indonesia while also providing protection for consumers.
Do you already understand why Bluetooth earphones need Postel certification?
Let’s take a closer look at the following article.
A headset is a device that connects a telephone to a computer and helps users speak and listen while keeping both hands free to perform other activities (handsfree).
Headsets are available in single-earpiece and double-earpiece designs.
Double-earpiece headsets usually support stereo sound, while single-earpiece headsets generally provide mono sound and leave the other ear free to hear surrounding sounds more clearly.
The term earphone originally referred to headsets used with mobile phones, which were previously commonly known as handsfree devices.
An earphone is a headset that allows users to listen to music and make voice calls with better sound quality.
A typical earphone device generally includes:
- Volume controls
- Microphone
- 3.5 mm plug
Today, more wireless headsets use Bluetooth technology.
These devices can be used with various mobile phones and computers, and in some cases may require a Bluetooth adapter to connect to the device.
Bluetooth is now used for short-range voice transmission.
In addition, Bluetooth can also be used for short-range data transmission.
Bluetooth versions that are widely used include Bluetooth 5.0 and Bluetooth 5.1.
Bluetooth 5.0 focuses on improving connectivity and the Internet of Things (IoT) experience, with improvements in several areas such as:
- Slot Availability Mask (SAM)
- LE (Low Energy) Advertising Extensions
- And other features
Meanwhile, Bluetooth 5.1 improves on the previous version with:
- Wider transmission range of up to 240 meters
- More efficient power consumption
- Faster transfer speeds of up to 2 Mbps
- The ability to pair two audio devices with other devices
Bluetooth Earphones Require SDPPI Certification
Bluetooth earphones are devices that are required to obtain SDPPI certification.
As of August 2022, a total of 499 Bluetooth earphone devices had been registered on the official website of the Directorate General of SDPPI.
This shows that more Bluetooth earphone devices and brand owners are entering the Indonesian market.
The Bluetooth feature in earphones follows technical standards referring to Director General of SDPPI Regulation No. 161 of 2019 concerning Frequency Short Range Devices.
Compliance with these technical standards is required so that devices can operate properly and maintain good interoperability.
Brand owners also need to meet several testing requirements, including:
- RF (Radio Frequency) Testing
- Emission Testing
- And other applicable tests
