Can the RF51822 be used for peer to peer communication

[Ali]

I am planning to build mobile devices that communicate directly between them with BLE. The devices are all the same and carried by users. users meet and exchange data. I can not define who is master or slave. is there a peer to peer mode in RF51822?

Hi,

In this scenario, you will require each device to operate as central (master) and peripheral (slave). We do not have support for concurrent central and peripheral, so this cannot be achieved with the nRF51x22 at this moment (using only BLE).

What you can do is to use the timeslot API (new in S110 v7.0-alpha) to communicate between the devices, or you can use S310 (concurrent ANT and BLE peripheral)
