Collaboration merges Ellisys Bluetooth protocol analysis with DEKRA’s SolutionPRO BEST platform, boosting CCC Digital Key™ Certification processes

“Through this alliance with DEKRA, we are broadening the reach of our solutions into the CCC certification space, creating a smooth transition from development to validation…”— Mario Pasquali, Ellisys President and CEOGENEVA, SWITZERLAND, July 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ellisys revealed today a fresh partnership with DEKRA, combining Ellisys’ premier Bluetooth® protocol analysis capabilities with DEKRA SolutionPRO BEST, a Bluetooth test automation system. This integrated offering improves CCC Digital Key™ Certification workflows, granting automotive OEMs and suppliers enhanced insight into Bluetooth protocol activity during validation.

DEKRA, serving as a CCC Authorized Test Laboratory (ATL), contributes extensive knowledge in CCC Digital Key™ Certification, automated test procedures, and a versatile, hardware-independent testing framework. Ellisys augments this with sophisticated Bluetooth protocol capture, decoding, timing evaluation, and performance indicators that provide engineering teams with a clearer view of device operations. Both DEKRA and Ellisys, together with additional CCC participants, convened last month at DEKRA’s automotive testing facility in Lausitzring, Germany, for the 18th CCC Digital Key™ End-to-End Plugfest to progress the testing and validation of CCC Digital Key™ implementations.

“The majority of automotive manufacturers and their Tier 1 suppliers depend on Ellisys Bluetooth protocol analyzers, and many take an active role in CCC interoperability events and the wider CCC Digital Key™ program,” stated Mario Pasquali, CEO and President of Ellisys. “By collaborating with DEKRA, we are expanding the application of our tools into the CCC certification arena, facilitating a seamless path from development through validation and delivering deeper insights into real-world performance.”

“Bringing Ellisys Bluetooth protocol analysis into SolutionPRO improves our capacity to offer fast, reliable, and repeatable CCC Digital Key™ certification services,” commented Juan Carlos Mora, DEKRA Vice President of Business Line Connectivity. “Automotive clients increasingly demand thorough visibility into protocol behavior during certification, and this alliance delivers precisely that—an automated, comprehensive environment that speeds up development and enhances overall quality.”
