 I&amp;#39;m using the nrf52 board with sdk11.
I want to know that i have 100 beacons and my nrf52 is a cenral. 
 1)How many beacons can scan by the central at a time?
2)Is there any limitations to scan the beacons more.If so how can i increase the scanning</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:12:12 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/16132/how-many-beacons-can-scan-by-the-central-in-nrf52" /><item><title>RE: How many beacons can scan by the central in nrf52</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/61533?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:12:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:f517f749-8931-4cb6-964a-163d7ecfa3f1</guid><dc:creator>singh</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank u so much Aryan.&lt;/p&gt;

For example if the central is always scanning (scan window = scan interval) and if the beacons are advertising with slow interval (for example say every 3 seconds). Chances are that it will detect them all (even if they are in thousands). Ofcourse this is only true for scanning and not for connections.
There will be a limitation if few beacons are advertising very fast, then there will be noise in the same bandwidth and will cause packet corruptions, which makes central not see them at all because of CRC error filtering in the hardware.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
