Frequency hopping with S132 v3

Hello! I'd like to know if S132 v3 implements the frequency hopping scheme defined by BLE.

I've read some documentation on Gazell, but from what I understood, that is a completely different protocol, not a superset of BLE. I require BLE communication, so If my understanding is correct, Gazell is not an option.

  • Yes, Nordic's "Soft Device" implements so-called BLE stack which manages all lower layers including LL with channel hopping during connection. Note that you don't need to go with Nordic's stack, you can seek some Open Source projects such as Zephyr or Mynewt if you want... however developing your custom stack seems like pretty wasting of energy unless you are sure what and why.
