BLE module

[Harikant]

Our company is manufacturing security and telecom products. In our security product range, we are adding blue tooth based product which is under development. For this product we would like to use your SoC nRF52832 or equivalent MCU which has BLE, provided this in build BLE module is certified for FCC, CE, IC and other applicable standard. And so we can use these certification ID for our product. And  hence no need to get the certification ID. And once we have decided we would like to have your technical support for our product development. Please suggest. Thanks and Regards Harikant

Hi Harikant,

you can find a comprehensive list of pre-certified modules using Nordic BLE SoCs on our 3rd Party Bluetooth low energy Modules page. All support for Nordic Semiconductor products go through the case system here on DevZone.

Note: Support related to 3rd party software modules should be directed to the module vendor. 

Best regards

Hi Bjom,

Thanks for the reply. Yes some modules are available using your SoCs. Can we modify the firmware  and add some hardware to meet our requirement without disturbing BLE firmware and hardware. In this case Does these certifications remain valid. Please suggest.

Thanks and Regards

Yes, the our BLE stack,i.e. SoftDevices, are deliverd as precompiled binaries with header files exposing the API and are pre-qualified by the Bluetooth SIG if used on Nordic HW.  This SW architecture ensures clean separation between application and protocol stack. No Bluetooth qualification is needed if you add on HW, but you need to re-certify the entire product for  FCC, CE, or IC certification eventhough the BLE module is certified.
