First ever Bluetooth low energy End Product Design Listing is completed by 7Layers

The Nordic Semiconductor nRF8001 solution is a complete Bluetooth low energy stack, combining the RF PHY, Link Layer and Host layer. Due to its ultra low power consumption the stack is ideally suited to a vast range of battery-powered applications including wireless mobile phone accessories, remote controls, sensors, and sports watches. The nRF8001 is also the first fully qualified Bluetooth v4.0 low energy design to combine the Radio, Link Layer, and Host into one End Product Listing (EPL), enabling designers to easily create new Bluetooth end products without any additional listing fees.

“It was exciting for us to be able to support Nordic Semiconductor with the listing of the first ever Bluetooth low energy end-product design,” says Carsten Steinroeder, Bluetooth Qualification Expert at 7Layers. “The listing process was straightforward and manufacturers can now benefit from integrating a fully qualified and listed product into their application.”

“We were very glad to have such an experienced partner as 7Layers working with us, comments Frank Karlsen, Senior RF Design Engineer at Nordic Semiconductor. We could fully rely on them and we feel certain that our customers could benefit immensely by using their experience and insight into our nRF8001 solution when it comes to further listings on the basis of our new Bluetooth low energy stack.”

Based on years of experience with Bluetooth wireless technology and insight into Nordic's nRF8001 solution, 7Layers can securely guide Nordic Semiconductor’s customers during the integration process and consult them with respect to Bluetooth Qualification, Regulatory Testing and Type Approval.
