https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/22657/is-it-possible-to-send-a-beacon-in-the-first-second-and-receive-a-beacon-in-the-second-secondHi, I have an application, where I need to send beacons and listen to beacons. Is it possible to do both in the same code base, without tearing down the softdevice and re-initialising it? Can the peripheral and central example (experimental folder) doen-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 12 Jun 2017 07:44:59 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/89094?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 12 Jun 2017 07:44:59 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:54cccf0b-1d70-4195-b26f-22d744035844J&#248;rgen Holmefjord<p>This will depend on the scan/advertising parameters. The main current consumption will come from scanning if you are constantly scanning for packets.

The S13x softdevice support <a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.softdevices52/dita/nrf52/softdevices.html?cp=2_4">concurrent peripheral and central operations</a>, meaning you can advertise and scan at the same time. The latest version also <a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.softdevices52/dita/softdevices/s130/s130.html?cp=2_4_0">support up to 20 connections</a>.</p> <p>The central and peripheral examples can be used as a starting point, or you can simply merge a peripheral and a central example into one application.</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Jørgen</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
