Do we have to pay for a bluetooth license if we use the bluetooth within the STM32WB? Looking at the website it cost a lot of money , approx $5k . https://www.bluetooth.com/develop-with-bluetooth/qualification-listing/qualification-listing-fees/ Scott

We know that this is inconvenient, especially for small system quantities. But yes, to be Bluetooth compliant requires both registration with the BT SIG and the corresponding payment of licence fees, which are incurred per new project. Details can be found on the BT SIG website you mentioned.

Does it answer your question?

Thanks Peter.

Unfortunately the approx $5k per project for just to use bluetooth is far to expensive for our projects. We will use WiFi .

Best Regards
