gazell and bluetooth.

Question

Hi.
I have just a question:
Can the same device work with gazell protocol and bluetooth LE alternatively? 
 I want a net with a host and some devices, but host must be peripheral bluetooth too. 
 Thanks.

Hi 
 The nRF51822 currently supports so-called non-concurrent multi-protocol operation, which means you can combine Gazell and BLE in the same project as long as you only use one protocol at the time. 
 There is an example in the nRF51 SDK showing you how you can switch between the two protocols dynamically. 
 There is also work being done on a system that would allow you to use the radio for proprietary communication in between BLE packets, which means you wouldn't have to disconnect the BLE link, and this system should be ready later this year.
