How much data can send using nrf51822..?

[Sudhan]

Hi,

I'm working on nrf51822 with soft device s130. I'm trying to send a data packets from the nRF51822 over BLE to an android device.

1. I want to know how much data I can send through ble.?
2. Is it possible to send around 20 MB of data..?

Hi,

1. You can send as much data as you want. The throughput will depend on what connection-interval and the number of packets per connection-interval the phone supports. The maximum throughput supported by the S130 SoftDevice is 149.2 kbps.
2. Yes, but it will take some time to transfer that amount of data.

Hi Jason,

You will need to split the 400 bytes in 20 bytes packets, and send them using notification. You will also need to configure your central to use a 7.5 ms connection interval to achieve maximum throughput. See this S130 throughput infocenter-page for more information.
