I see there is a 20 max limit on concurrent connections. Does that mean I can only have 20 paired devices or can I have X number of devices</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 19 Jul 2018 10:22:47 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/36518/concurrent-connections-is-the-limit-really-20" /><item><title>RE: Concurrent connections is the limit really 20 ?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/140646?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jul 2018 10:22:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:630223ed-4e2e-47a9-9c0a-dc7785d9960b</guid><dc:creator>haakonsh</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The S140 can handle 20 concurrent connections. The limitation is in the SoftDevice&amp;#39;s scheduler.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The maximum number of bonded devices depends on how much memory you&amp;#39;ve got and how much memory is required for each bond depending on the content of the bonding information.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The difference between ANT and BLE is not that huge at -2dB.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can use a mesh network I would rather use BLE mesh or OpenThread.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
