$GTCH their joint Venture GBT Tokenize Corp (“GBT/Tokenize”) has completed its qTerm device prototype and is now in the testing and debugging phase. The testing and debugging phase is targeted to check the device's overall functionality and its sub-systems including BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), IR heat sensors, oximeter sensors, power management and others. The initial testing provided satisfactory results and all electronic circuitries are fully functional.

Further testing of the complete system will be conducted during the upcoming weeks in order to finalize the device’s functionality. Another aspect is the device's mechanical enclosure, components and sensors placement. The device is assembled based on the most up-to-date SMT (Surface Mount Technology). SMT is a method in which the electronic components (microchips, resistors, capacitors) are mounted directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). SMT is an efficient method to create small electronic devices and to increase manufacturing automation which reduces cost and improves quality. It also allows for more electronic components to fit on a given area.
