Hi,

You can combine Bluetooth mesh and BLE, both if you use GATT proxy and if you do not use GATT proxy. Actually it is a bit easier if you do not use GATT proxy, and we do have an example in the nRF5 SDK for Mesh for combining a Bluetooth mesh application with NUS: SDK UART coexistence example.

When you combine BLE functionality (e.g. from the nRF5 SDK) with Bluetooth mesh with GATT proxy, you may have to handle some issues on the way. This is because then both the GATT proxy functionality and the standard BLE functionality both listens to the same SoftDevice callbacks, and both adds services to the ATT table on the device. It should not be too difficult, though, and there are some other threads covering potential issues:

How to run proxy and Nus at the same time
Proxy and NUS in one application
When using nRF MESH, two BLE event handlers being called

Armed with the above DevZone threads you should be able to combine any BLE service with Bluetooth mesh using GATT proxy.

Terje
