Bluetooth LE Repeater

[MH]

Hi,

I have several nRF51822 which are far away from each other and I want to communicate with all of them without need to go to deferent places to get the signal.

Does Repeater exist in Bluetooth LE concept?

The Bluetooth LE range is very limited and I can’t benefit from it if I can’t somehow extend the signal range.

Please give me some suggestion to achieve this goal

To me it seems you have two options, either increase the signal strength with an amplifier, or use a device that operates as a central and peripheral concurrently to relay the information.

SoftDevice S130 can do this, but it is currently release as an alpha.

Thank you for your suggestions, Can you estimate when the production version of SoftDevice S130 will release?

I cannot, but if you send me a PM with your location I can get you in touch with the Sales Manager for your area. He may have more information.
