Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) for Chip

[Ted Spears]

Hello

I am developing a health fitness watch using the nRF51822 System-On-Chip. I am interested in acquiring an organizationally unique identifier that can be then be implemented into each of my watches that has the nRF51822.

Can anyone tell me how much this usually costs (even rough estimates would be appreciated)? Is there someone I should talk to specifically at Nordic?

Thank you in advance!

You can get a 24 bit OUI (MA-L) from the IEEE and use it as the public address of the nRF51822. See https://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/tut/eui.pdf However if this is your first time use of an OUI, getting an MA-L is not recommended.

You can also use the Device Information Service . System ID to expose an EUI 64 (the EUI 64 can be cheaper as you can use a MA-M or MA-S from the IEEE, First time registrants may find it harder to get an MA-L and it is recommeded to get a MA-M or MA-S from the IEEE)

You need to talk to your IEEE RA (Registration Authority) for your OUI
