https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/93024/company-identifier-when-advertising-dataWithout any clients connecting to my nRF, I want to advertise some data which the clients can see. I know I can use the ble_advdata_manuf_data_t struct and populate the company_indentifier, p_data and size fields. I also seen in the post below thaten-USTelligent Community 13Fri, 21 Oct 2022 06:35:12 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/391781?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 21 Oct 2022 06:35:12 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:950f8b54-d8ba-423a-ba78-af108f4f4d2bEinar Thorsrud<p>Other than manufacturer specific data you can advertise standard things like UUIDs, device name, etc, but not arbitrary data. That you would have to do in a connection. But in any case, in order to legally sell a Bluetooth product you will have to list it, and then you will have a company ID, so this hole topic is a bit strange.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/391698?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 20 Oct 2022 13:36:26 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:490d66fb-f5fb-40b5-a7b6-23d028dfdf59jerome.sc<p>Is there an alternative to advertising data? As in if I want to advertise data, e.g. different values that clients can read, does it have to be done through the manufacturing data?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/391651?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 20 Oct 2022 12:14:04 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:1c9ac831-2aa0-4877-b5fc-8e0c22c8c6a4Einar Thorsrud<p>You can use&nbsp;0xFFFF as company identifier for testing, but you cannot ship a Bluetooth product without your own company ID. This should not be a problem though, as you need a company ID in order to list a Bluetooth product, and you cannot claim that the product support Bluetooth without having listed it.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
