As Nordic has the company identifier of 0x59 (or 89 in decimal), only two bytes are necessary to use our company ID. Furthermore, the company identifier isn&#39;t restricted to 2 bytes, but we only use the two bytes in Nordic&#39;s company ID to define it.</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Simon</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
