bluetooth certification if only going to use the ant on nrf52840

[rahmat]

Hi,

I am currently in an attempt of revising an old board, it uses an ANT+ module which is soon going to be out of production. With the nRF52840, if I were to use the ANT feature and not using the BLE(we want to keep this option open), do I still need to pay and go through the Bluetooth qualification process for the new version of the board?

Regards,

Rahmat

Hi Rahmat, 

If you don't use BLE, you don't have to do any Bluetooth qualification.
