Advertising as iBeacon and connectable device concurrently

[FiBe]

Hi,

We are using an nRF52832 with Soft Device S132 in a project. It has been requested that we should advertise as connectable with our own service and characteristics, but also that we should advertise as a non-connectable iBeacon at all times. The advertisement packets should be sent concurrently, meaning that we cannot alternate between them. I have found here that one way to do it would be to use the time slot API. Is that the best way to do it or are there other ways? Are there any examples of how to do it with the nRF52832?

Thanks
Filip

Hi,

Yes. Since you want the advertisements packets to be sent concurrently, the best way would be to use the timeslot API like Kristin mentioned in the post. Unfortunately, we do not have an example for nRF52. You should probably use the experimental_ble_app_multiactivity example that is implemented for nRF51 as a reference and port it over to nRF52.
