Dual Mode SoC

You can run Gazell and BLE concurrently on a single chip using the Timeslot API.

If you are looking for dual-mode as in BLE combined with e.g. Bluetooth 2 on a single module, I have no idea.

Let me ask you another question. I just noticed that Blair BL600 module is actually using NRF51822 and thus Nordic's libraries may be used there. Is there a chance on finding any Dual-Mode module that would support Gazell protocol?

That is true, but it's how it has to be in the beginning I guess.

Thank you for an answer. Unfortunatelly only newer phones support Bluetooth 5 and that's what restricts me. I have to stick to v4.0/v4.1 and need much higher throughput that BLE allows for final data transfer (but still using it for 'normal' application).

Here is a nice throughput demo: Bluetooth 5 2Mbps Demo with nRF52 Series and Samsung Galaxy S8

We support 2Mbps mode and BT5 now, though. I.e. you can now get payload throughput up to ~1.4Mbps with nRF52832 and nRF52840.

No change on that, just IEEE 802.15.4 in nRF52840 but no BT classic (BR/EDR).

Has anything changed since the time of last answer? Still no dual-mode device from Nordic?

@awneil is right. Only BLE, ANT and proprietary. No dual mode.

No, Nordic only do BTLE, afaik...
