Hi All,
We are developing a bluetooth stack, which contains the upper protocol
layers SDP, L2CA P, RFCOMM, HCI and the Serial Port Profile. The base
band is from a third party vendor and is already certified. I would
like to know the following about the Bluetooth BQB certification

1) Is there a term "Re certification" in bluetooth. What actually
needed is, suppose the stack is already certified and we are making
some modification, whether we need re certification or not?
2) What is the period for getting the certification after submitting
the request to the BQB.
3) How much is the cost for certification. A rough cost is ok
4) As I already said my base band is certified. Is this bluetooth logo
is valid for base band even if we are not certifying our upper stack.
5) Is it possible to market a bluetooth product with out the SIG
certification?. Any legal issues from Bluetooth Community?

Thanks in advance
Suja.

Hi, Suja.

(1) First of all, I recommend you to read this file in detail:
http://qualweb.bluetooth.org/Content2/DownloadExecute.cfm?RevisionHistoryID=418&
FileName=PRD1-0.pdf

(2) I think it all depends on BQBs(because they may have many producs
to be qualified, and your product need to wait on the waiting list).

(3) Sorry I don't know. You are supposed to ask it to BQBs.

(4) I might not fully understand your question, but I think it is
true. As we all know, however, to advertise your products they need to
be qualified for each functionality. If your baseband is only
qualified and other components are not qualified, then it means your
product has only the baseband functionality as a Bluetooth product.

(5) Absolutely NOT. I definitely think it will cause some kind of
legal issues. Your products mst be qualified for each functionality
which you want to advertise.
