Nordic Zigbee 3.0 compliant?

[mon2]

Hello. We are in development for Zigbee compliant devices. Could not locate Nordic on the Zigbee.org website as being compliant. Is this an error or misunderstanding on our part? See lots of potential in the use of the Nordic devices but will the Nordic silicon be certified to be compliant?

Will the lack of compliance hold us back from selling our Nordic based goods? At this time, the Nordic 840 device is of most interest. We have open chats with Raytac (Taiwan) for their pre-certified modules that are pending upon the release of your final silicon in 2018.

Hi endnode. Thanks for your comments. Regarding your interest, have you seen the packaged solutions from Taiyo Yuden?

We have been informed that TY will also offer a nRF52840 based solutions in 2018. Same comments as from Raytac whom we met in HK in October. Both are waiting on the Nordic silicon to be officially released before they discuss pricing. For us, we cannot afford to deal with this silicon at the low level so prefer a pre-certified module. Compliance will be a market sell and believe it is mandatory. Hope Nordic can support this compliance to gain even more market share. We are testing just about every solution and finding some issues with each as we work away at the tools. Just invested all day to compile and fix a sample project which is not working correctly like their pre-compiled hex file from Silabs - joy. Tomorrow, will revisit the issues.

So without such certification, what are the vendors doing? Selling widgets that are not certified but working? Is that allowed? Must be confused on this so will keep searching.

Yeah, I don't see why Nordic wants to venture into the ZigBee world also as BLE seems to be the unique selling proposition of the nRF products.
