Associate Members
Associate Members Associate memberships are available to all companies that want a higher level of participation in the Bluetooth organization than what is granted to adopter members. While not nearly as powerful as the nine promoter members, associ-ate members can participate in many promoter-level activities that are off-limits to adopter-level members. Associate companies receive early access to the Bluetooth Specification and other Bluetoothrelated information. They also receive access to the SIG’s reflectors and can become members of the Bluetooth working groups. (Working group membership is not open to adopter members.) In order to be accepted as an associate member, a company must have signed the Bluetooth Adopters Agreement, must be sponsored by a promoter company, and must pay an annual fee—between $5000 and $40,000 per year, based on the company’s annual revenues.
