Well there´s no limit for time multiplexed connections, you just connect to 1-8 devices, send some data, disconnect, connect to a different set, send some data, disconnect, etc.

An s110 can only be a peripheral, so it will not initiate connections, it will listen and accept incoming connections. It's the central (master) that will establish the connection regime by sequentially connecting to all your peripheral (slave) devices one or several at a time.

Thanks, good to know it's possible! the implementation will be a headache for another day haha. Any idea on an upper limit for mutliplexed connections? And will an s110 soft device just wait it's turn if all 8 connections are active when it tries to connect?

You can store data for as many devices as you want, although you will only be able to connect to 8 peripherals at the same time. If you multiplex the connections across time then you should have no problem at all.

The SD will not manage this automatically, the bond information is stored by the application (see the peer manager included with the SDK to help you with that). The SD in fact knows nothing about bonds, it simply requires the security keys to be provided by the application on a per-connection basis.
