Hi guys,
I am developing a project where I have a large group of NRF52 chips together in one room. In their normal state each chip is paired as a BLE peripheral device to a phone. However, upon a certain event/trigger, pairs of the chips will need to exchange a small packet of information with each other. Preferably this is done as quickly as possible, so after the exchange the chips go back to their normal state. There is a small chance 2 pairs (4 chips) trigger at similar times.
I am wondering if this use case is better addressed by ANT or BLE. For BLE, I could use simultaneous broadcaster and scanner roles on each of the chips when triggered. On the other hand, ANT would remove the need for any roles. Considering BLE could be done with s132 and ANT may have additional overhead at the softdevice level, which would be a faster/more reliable solution?
Thanks, Adb
