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.

  • Of course it does implement frequency hopping. You don't have to think about such a low layers - this (among other features) is what softdevice is written for. You can however control which channels are used for advertisements.

    Yes, Gazell is something completely different.

  • @wojtek I'm asking this because the behavior I'm seeing does not match what I expected to happen when frequency hopping is used. I may have the wrong idea though. I have two BLE devices and a strong Wi-Fi signal that overlaps some the of the BLE channels. What I observe is that sometimes I get huge interference from the Wi-Fi signal. This expected when the channels are overlapped. However, I expected the hopping to solve this issue by moving the BLE connection to a different channel, and that doesn't seem to be happening.
