Question

hello, i have a question about broadcast mode : 
 can the broadcast mode be used in parallel with the ble mode? 
 thank you.

That is correct. To send exactly at the same time, you must use some proprietary radio protocol, such as the esb examples (which is a different protocol than BLE). 
 The disadvantage with this is that the esb devices has to be listening at the time when you are transmitting. This is possible, but it takes a lot more current than using BLE, because they have to have the radios on the entire time. That does not mean that you can't do it, but if the device runs on a battery, it will be drained faster. 
 
 Best regards,
