GSMA retains Bluetooth DUN profile for automotive tethering

Published: 05 November 2012Posted in: Connectivity, Mobile phones

The Terminal Steering Group (TSG) of the GSMA association of mobile network operators has published its Bluetooth Interoperability Requirements for Mobile Terminals aimed at automotive applications.

This document represents a significant step in realising genuine collaboration, in support of BT profiles, between automakers, handset manufacturers and mobile operators. Whilst the handset manufacturer and operator collaboration is long established, it was necessary to seek input from the car industry as the GSMA TSG were seeking to specifically enhance Bluetooth support and the end user experience for in-car connectivity.

The result of this collaboration has been very tangible. Initially handset vendors, whose design cycle is significantly shorter than the three years or so of the auto industry, were looking to immediately remove support for BT Dial-up Networking (DUN) profiles. BT DUN profiles are a common (and sometimes sole mechanism) for providing tethering solutions with automakers. Through collaborative dialogue a compromise solution has been met, which includes the support of DUN until 2015.
