BLE and NRF24 protocols simultaneously? (nRF51822)

[brightidea]

Is it possible for a nRF51822 to communicate with a NRF24x device and utilize BLE simultaneously?

In essence a type of dual mode?

[Sam Wei Quan]

"The nRF51822 is only able to run one protocol at the time (what we call ‘non-concurrent multi-protocol’). The way nRFready Desktop 2 works is that it will alternate between trying to connect to either a Gazell host or a BLE master, and as soon as it is successful on either protocol it will enter a connection and stop using the other protocol."

*I had asked same question before, above is the reply from Nordic Staff, Torbjørn in my support case.:)

[Sam Wei Quan]

nRFready Desktop 2 is Nordic product that can use Gazell (nRF24x protocol) and BLE to connect PC with keyboard and mouse.

To add to what Sam said, I believe that you'll also lose BLE connection state when switching, which may hinder your application.

(I believe this is what Nordic support told me when I asked...)

To clean things up, I'd be happy if you could evaluate the answer you have received and accept it if you feel it's sufficient. If not, it might be useful to expand your question a little and provide further information.
