 I&amp;#39;m wondering about how those BLE trackers (i.e. Tile , Trackr) work. Specifically, what kind of advertisement strategy makes sense for these types of devices, given their two main features.

&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t have any clear answer here, as I don&amp;#39;t know the details. You may get an nRF sniffer tool and for instance sniff the advertisment and communication:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Tools/nRF-Sniffer"&gt;https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Tools/nRF-Sniffer&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is possible to change advertisement on the fly, to for instance swap between non connectable and connectable advertisement, and also change the advertisement data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You may use this online power calculator the get current consumption estimates depending on advertisement mode, interval and packet size:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/power/"&gt;https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/power/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Kenneth&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
