This page is intended for Partners who work with a System Integrator (SI).
Google strongly recommends partnering with an SI. Fast Pair adopters without a
SI/SOC partner should contact your Google Technical Account Manager or
[fast-pair-integrations@google.com](mailto:fast-pair-integrations@google.com "MailTo link for the Support group.") for support.

## Background

This workflow, implemented Q2 2022, has SoC partners integrate Fast Pair
solutions and help OEM and ODM partners on Fast Pair project development and
certification. The primary System Integrator (SI) partners supporting this flow
are:

| SI Name | Contact |
|---|---|
| Airoha | sales@airoha.com |
| Bestechnic | Email: [Jennifer Li, Dir. of Business Development](mailto:jennifer@bestechnic.com) |
| Qualcomm | [Qualcomm Contact Form](https://www.qualcomm.com/support/contact/forms/contact-sales-audio) |
| Realtek | rtksi@realtek.com |
| Jieli | yukaikai@zh-jieli.com |

## Role and Responsibilities in the Ecosystem

![Figure 1: How System Integrators (SIs) handle OEM interaction and submit finalized technical plans to Google for approval.](https://developers.google.com/static/nearby/fast-pair/images/Fast_Pair_SI_Workflow.svg "Figure 1: How System Integrators (SIs) handle OEM interaction and submit finalized technical plans to Google for approval.")

The Fast Pair integration process with partners includes the tasks listed in
Figure 1 and must be completed before official certification in 3rd
Party Labs.

OEMs are responsible for the following tasks:

- **Model ID Registration** : Register your device on the
  [Device console](https://developers.google.com/nearby/devices "Link to the Nearby console.") to obtain a unique model ID for your device (a
  project can have multiple Model IDs). This is required to request project
  activation in the business proposal before the integration and development
  process for Fast Pair. Fast Pair devices (each with a unique model ID) need to
  be associated with one or more Google Cloud projects. For additional
  information, see the [the Model Id page](https://developers.google.com/nearby/fast-pair/specifications/service/modelregistration#CreateModelId "How to register a Fast Pair Model ID.").

- **Business Proposal** : You will need to complete a
  [business proposal submission](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1-QLoVRkxZQQtk14lGvgs88laM9zC1p35pzYwXBLosFk/viewform "Link to the Business Proposal submission form.") to notify the Google Business
  Development team to confirm the necessary contracts are in place, and choose
  System Integrator (SI) partners to collaborate with. Your SI or SoC partners
  will help you submit an issue tracker kickoff proposal in the Google issue
  tracker to confirm the project scope. For additional information, see the
  [certification process](https://developers.google.com/nearby/fast-pair/certification-process#preparing_for_certification_via_self_testing "Link to the self-test section.") section.

- **Fast Integration** : Work with your SI or SoC partners on product development
  and Fast Pair solution integration in Bluetooth (BT) firmware. If you have any
  questions, reach out to your SI partner. For more information, see the
  [Fast Pair technical guidelines](https://developers.google.com/nearby/fast-pair/fast-pair-certification-guideline "Link to the Fast Pair Certification Guidelines page.").

- **Self-Test** : Run and submit the results of the calibration test and
  end-to-end integration test with the Validator app. For more information, see
  either the [BT Classic](https://developers.google.com/static/nearby/fast-pair/downloads/self-test-reports/Bluetooth_Classic_-_Google_Fast_Pair_Self_Test_Report_10142020.zip "Link to the Fast Pair Bluetooth Classic Self-Test Report sheet.") or [BlueTooth LE Audio](https://developers.google.com/static/nearby/fast-pair/downloads/self-test-reports/LE_Audio_Dual_mode_-_Google_Fast_Pair_Self_Test_Report_2025_Q4.zip "Link to the Fast Pair LE Audio Self-Test Report sheet.")
  Self-Test Report forms, depending on implementation. Once you have completed
  the self-test, submit the Self-Test Report to your SI or SoC partner who will
  apply for technical approval so that Google can evaluate your self-test
  results. See the Fast Pair [certification process](https://developers.google.com/nearby/fast-pair/certification-process#preparing_for_certification_via_self_testing "Link to the self-test section.") for more
  details.

- **Apply for Technical Approval** : Work with your SI or SoC partners who will
  submit the technical approval request in the Google issue tracker system. For
  more information, see the [certification process](https://developers.google.com/nearby/fast-pair/certification-process#preparing_for_certification_via_self_testing "Link to the self-test section.") section.

- **Official Certification at a Third-Party Lab** : Once Google has informed your
  SI or SoC partner on the technical approval request ticket (also can be known
  as pre-certification) that your project is ready to start the certification
  process, contact a third-party lab in order to proceed with the official
  certification. Google may request for you to ship samples to Google as needed.
  For more information, see the
  [Shipping Devices to 3rd Party Labs](https://developers.google.com/nearby/fast-pair/shipping-devices-to-3pl "Link to the page for shipping devices to 3rd Party Labs.") page.

- **Receipt of Technical Approval** : You will receive a Technical Approval
  letter along with Fast Pair enablement on the [Nearby console](https://developers.google.com/nearby/devices "Link to the Nearby console.").

- **Post Launch OTA** : Work with your SI or SoC partner on post-launch OTA
  update requests. For more information, see the
  [certification process](https://developers.google.com/nearby/fast-pair/certification-process#preparing_for_certification_via_self_testing "Link to the self-test section.") section.
