Does nRF52840 SoC allow multiple device connection?

Question

Hi, I was wondering if there a way to connect several peripheral devices to a central device with nRF52840? In my application, I need to send data from multiple temperature sensors to a single central Bluetooth unit.
Thank you.

Hi Senso, 
 the maximum number of peripheral/central connections that can be made will depend on the SoftDevice used. The S140 SoftDevice will be the dedicated nRF52840 SoftDevice and it will extend the feature set of the S132 v3.0, and add support for Bluetooth 5. The S132 v3.0 supports up to eight connections with an additional observer and a broadcaster role, all running concurrently. 
 Short answer: Yes, the nRF52840 and the S140 will support at least 8 concurrent connections. 
 Best regards
