@Mahesh This seems a bit unrelated, I think you should add a new question.

At 250kbps, does the nrf51 have the same range as the nrf24le1? how does power consumption compare? i'm familiar with wifi (and now ESB) but not BT/BLE. we need about 10-15m through concrete walls between TX and RX.

Thanks,

Mahesh

I can't comment on the prizes, but you may want to contact the regional sales manager for your area, if you don't know who it is, send me a PM with your location and I'll let you know.

NRF51.

It's a really popular chip so you can always get good pricing in the channel, quite likely better than what you listed.

It's a much more modern chip so you will find it much easier to reach your power targets, especially considering the EasyDMA for the Radio, and the PPI for linking timer events to radio tasks.
