Hi Peter, Thanks For Your Quick Response . I couldnt understand For what you are saying No .

This is my requirement , My NRF52822 will act as a beacon receiver and it will inform my Android/IOS device about the nearest beacon transmitter . Is this possible ?

Yes and no. Typically advertisments contain different data types, like name, UUID and so on, but the iBeacon usally only contains one data type, manufacturer specific data. And then inside this there is a format specified by the iBeacon specification.

All centrals can receive the advertisments, it is not encrypted or anything, but for example with iOS devices the you have to use Apples company identifier inside the manufacturer specific data.

You can use the S130 as a central and scan advertisments, and then connect to a smart phone as a peripheral yes.
