Multiple concurrent connections on the nRF51822?

[sd]

Can the nRF51822 handle more than one connection at a time? I suspect that the answer 'no' based on some indicators, but it'd be good for me to get a conclusive answer. Thanks!

A Peripheral, which is the only connected role the S110 supports, can only be connected to one Central at a time per the Bluetooth Core Specification. This isn't a hardware limitation however, so it could in principle change in future releases or with other softdevices.

Hi Ole. A quick follow-up: when the Peripheral is 'connected', is there any way to still let it tell other nearby Centrals that it exists but is unavailable / busy?

No. See this question: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/index.php/nrf51822-s110-simultaneously-peripheral-and-broadcaster
