BLE and BLE_Mesh

[lgs001]

Hi There,

I want to know if the device with BLE protocol (radio) can communicate with the devices with the BLE_mesh protocols?

It means the two devices with different protocols can receive and send messages each other.

With kind regards,

Gaosheng

Hi

They do not support communicating with each other just like that, no, but it is possible to do both protocols concurrently, so one device could communicate with both BLE Mesh and "regular" BLE devices.

Please have a look at the Bluetooth: Mesh and peripheral coexistence sample. The files are found at \nrf\samples\bluetooth\mesh\ble_peripheral_lbs_coex. Note that you need extended advertisements enabled in the project, for the multiple advertising sets required for concurent Mesh + BLE operation.

Best regards,

Simon
