https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/15181/can-i-run-ble-ant-and-gazell-protocol-in-the-same-time-on-nrf52832I wanna plan to design a new hardware which has ability to connect to smartphones using BLE and broadcasting ANT pages in the same time. I also need a way to transmit some private data with the rate of 1.3KByte to another device. Can I run BLE, ANTen-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 18 Jul 2016 07:00:52 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/57956?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 18 Jul 2016 07:00:52 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:72cea273-187d-4251-88a4-d5aca6daa963&#216;yvind Karlsen<p>Hi,</p> <p>It is possible to run radio protocols concurrently using the timeslot API, for an example you can see <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/blogs/733/running-micro-esb-concurrently-with-ble/">this blogpost</a> which describes how to run µESB and BLE concurrently.</p> <p>To run ANT you need to download the SoftDevice S332 or S212 available at <a href="https://www.thisisant.com/developer/components/nrf52832/">this link</a>.</p> <p>As for the throughput you will have to test this youself, there are many application specific things that affect this as well. You can consult answers on DevZone (for example <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/56900/s132-maximum-throughput/">1</a>, <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/43332/maximizing-gazelle-data-throughput/">2</a>) to give you an indication on the max possible throughput for each protocol, and then divide by the time each will be active (make sure to include some overhead).</p> <p>For ANT specific questions <a href="https://www.thisisant.com/forum/">the forums</a> at THIS IS ANT is a great resource.</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Øyvind</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
