First of all Thanks for the great and informant webinar. I have two questions:
1) Does every Amazon Sidewalk need to have a Bluetooth Module?
2) How can a Sidewalk hardware manufacturer work with an other company that creates a visualization Like an App (Share acces to AWS cloud Data)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the webinar. To answer your questions:
1) No, it is possible to built a sub-GHz-only Sidewalk endpoint, however it introduces some limitations e.g. to associate a Sidewalk endpoint with a particular Ring/Amazon account, among others.
2) It can be data transfer within AWS or a cloud to cloud data transmission from AWS cloud to a third party cloud.

Love Nordic products

Our company is using your nRF boards for sensors, but sadly, the apps on the board are written in MBed. :( I really do not like the MBed way of doing things
