Bluetooth SIG EPL

[gaminn]

We are a small start-up developing low volume product and paying 2500 USD to Bluetooth SIG for listing our BLE device in their EPL is too expensive for us. Is there any option how we can incorporate BLE in our product without the obligation of paying 2500 USD to Bluetooth SIG?

Basically what we need is to send/receive data over BLE from our BLE device to our proprietary mobile application. It is not important what GATT service will be used to accomplish that.

Hi,

If you want to use BLE in your product, you need to be registered with Bluetooth SIG. There is no way around this.

Best regards,

Yes, this is correct, if you want the EPL listing you need to be registered with the BT SIG.
