In this setup, we are using the nRF52832 as a central device and aim to connect to 20 peripheral devices simultaneously</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 17 Apr 2025 19:07:21 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/120800/nrf52832-multilink-central-connection-issue" /><item><title>RE: nRF52832 Multilink Central Connection Issue</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/532136?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 17 Apr 2025 19:07:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:573eff23-b7f8-40ee-81f0-f62827702e48</guid><dc:creator>Amanda Hsieh</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The behavior you&amp;#39;re observing with the multilink central example is the expected behavior. The central device can maintain multiple connections simultaneously, but the process of establishing those connections happens sequentially because there is only one radio that can perform one operation at a time. However, you can take a look at the NCS&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/samples/bluetooth/scanning_while_connecting/README.html"&gt;Bluetooth: Scanning while connecting&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;showing&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;how to reduce the time to establish connections to many devices.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Please be aware that&amp;nbsp;the nRF5 SDK is in&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;maintenance mode&lt;/strong&gt;. This means that bug fixes and security updates will be available as needed. See the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/nrf-connect-sdk-and-nrf5-sdk-statement"&gt;nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
