 We have a device running nRF5 SDK 16.0.0 with SoftDevice S332 (BLE + ANT). We use BLE Central/Peripheral links plus multiple ANT sensors. Under load we see frequent disconnects on both BLE and ANT (often within seconds to minutes).

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for your answer&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When ANT and Bluetooth are performing scanning simultaneously, is the 5 ms scan interval and scan window of Bluetooth too small, which consequently degrades the performance of ANT?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Frequent ANT + BLE disconnects when running concurrently</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/558978?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Jan 2026 09:59:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:feda1224-29a9-4a14-8189-e24d0f991b44</guid><dc:creator>Kenneth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;For least impact on existing channels I recommend to use low-priority search.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In mixed BLE Central + multiple ANT channel setups, is low-priority search generally recommended all the time, or only once the system is under load? &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;a style="color:#ffffff;" href="https://stealbrainrotgame.com"&gt;Steal Brainrot Game&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Frequent ANT + BLE disconnects when running concurrently</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/558963?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Jan 2026 08:48:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:1a9a622a-c089-4cdf-9bc2-dccb0e2c115e</guid><dc:creator>Kenneth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you try to scan and connect with a BLE enabled peer device, try to define the scan parameters interval = window = 5ms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you try to search for an ANT enabled peer device, then disable high priority search, and use low priority search only.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Kenneth&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
