How does pairing/bonding affect data rate/transmission speed?

[Andy]

Hello,

I'm working on a feature that will allow my device to transmit a small JPG to a mobile application. I would like to have at least some basic security on the characteristic used to transmit the image data. However, I'm concerned about how this will affect the transmission speed of the thumbnail.

I know I could just implement it and see if there is a significant difference, but I need to know this now because the app developer needs to figure out how the pairing would be handled in the first place. Right now we're getting an annoying pop-up on iOS and we don't like it. We really just need security on the thumbnail thing, and if the performance is much worse, it's not even worth looking into it.

Thanks!

Hi,

Pairing/Bonding should not affect the data rate/transmission speed in any way. Not sure what you mean by "annoying pop-up"? Do you mean the pairing request?

You can read more about security in this post.

Yes, I meant the pairing request. So having an encrypted link doesn't affect the data rate? I read the post, but I didn't find anything about the transmission speeds. Thanks for your help!
