Will Nordic Semiconductor release an Android/iOS provisioner soon?

[Mitch996]

Hi, I asked a relevant questions before and was advised to solicit such information from my local Nordic operations. But they didn't appear to know that either, so I'm here asking this question again.

All the BLE Mesh nodes are provisionees, if I grasp it correctly. They need a provisioner to configure them. The example released earlier this year by Nordic uses a Nordic chip (for example, nrf 51822) to be a provisioner, but it can also be virtually anything capable of BLE specs compliant devices.

So I really want to know, will there be an iOS/Android provisioner soon? I'm really looking forward to it because lower level advertisement packet toiling doesn't seem to be feasible on either platform and I'm also curious how things will be done.

I'm not sure who you have asked, but if it was one of our Regional Sales Managers, they are the ones to ask.

If you didn't ask one of them, and you don't know who the RSM for your area is, you can send me a PM with your location and I'll let you know.

In general we do not discuss future releases and schedules here.

[Mitch996]

Understood. But can you please just PM me a little bit about the future plan, like, whether it will be in 2018 at all? PM me, I won't share I promise :)

That is not how it works. You should contact your the RSM for you area if you have these kind of questions.
