As of 22-Dec 2020, PTS supports 2 dongle types (BR/EDR/LE and LE Only).

Both dongles will continue to be available and supported for the foreseeable future. 

Please note: In order to execute all test cases available in PTS 8.0, dongles of both types are required. Dongles of each type DO NOT support 100% of the test cases available in PTS 8.0 by themselves.
