https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/32751/ant-vs-bleIn my current case there is a relay node to which want to send RSSI values of beacons nearby and then relay the same information across other relay nodes in the network, So which protocol should I use BLE Mesh or ANT? What is the difference?

Bluetooth Mesh defines a relay node that is able to do exactly what you are trying to do.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.electronicdesign.com/mobile/what-s-difference-between-bluetooth-low-energy-and-ant" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Here is a good summary</a> of the difference between ANT &amp; Bluetooth Low Energy. <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/b/blog/posts/introducing-nrf5-sdk-for-mesh" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Here is a good starting point</a> to Bluetooth Mesh &amp; the Nordic Mesh SDK. Yes, it is possible to use BLE &amp; ANT concurrently.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
