nrf51822: Is there a way to handle 120 concurrent links? How can I do it ?

  • Which protocol are you using? BLE? ANT? Proprietary?

  • [1]. Proprietary protocol. [2]. BLE , ANT , Proprietary : which one can do this?

  • Our BLE SoftDevices can handle 8 concurrent connections in total, 1 as a peripheral, and up to 8 as a central. And our ANT SoftDevices supports up to 15 channels.

    What are the requirements of your network? Do all 120 devices need to be connected? Maybe a mesh solution could be of interest?

    nRF OpenMesh

    FruityMesh

    Wirepas Pino may also be something to look into. They have made a mesh protocol for the nRF51 Series, see this.
