@chjoon: It's supported already, from S132 v4.0 we support 20 concurrent links , including both peripherals and centrals. But this only applied for nRF52, not nRF51.

Hi Hung, I am working on device with same configuration (multiple central + one peripheral). So I wonder if your new feature is ready now. Thanks.

Hi RDSoft,

We are working on the new feature to allow more than one central to connect to the peripheral. However, I don't know when it's ready.

You can use the timeslot API to handle the extra connection. But it's on your own. We have an example here that can be used as an example. The second connection will have very limited functionality.

Another option is to reverse the roles. The phone can advertise (On android 6.x, phones can do peripheral) and the nRF51 acts as the scanner and central. By doing that you can connect up to 8 phone to the nRF51, concurrently.
