Using Nordic Manufacturer ID in advertizing data

[Geoffrey OMWAVE]

Hi,

Is it OK to use the Nordic Semiconductor ASA (0x0059) ID for broadcasting data in the manufacturer specific data field? If so is does Nordic provide a specification to follow for such data?

Ideally you should use your company's ID in broadcasting data. To get an company ID for your company you need be at least an adopter member. You can get a Bluetooth company ID from the Bluetooth SIG.

I am already an adopter member and I know the membership is free. But I dont have a company ID, as my company is not listed here. Do I need to pay any fees to Bluetooth SIG to acquire my company ID and to use it in advertising data? Its not very clearly mentioned on Bluetooth SIG website...

You don't need to pay anything for Bluetooth SIG company ID, its free for use as well. You have to send a request to Bluetooth Support to acquire a company ID
