Maximum throughput with new nRF51 Dongle

[Wass0392]

Hi,

Im new to BLE and still trying to wrap my head around things. I am using the both new nRF51 DK and nRF51 Dongle for testing at the moment. I know that the old dongle that came with the nRF51822 development board only allows one 20 byte packet per connection interval. Does this new nRF51 Dongle support 6 packets per connection interval?

It depends on what you are connection towards. The nRF51 radio as a Bluetooth peripheral can support up to 6 packages per connection interval if the central it connects to accepts this. The nRF51 dongle in master control panel with the MEFW .10 firmware will support up to 6 packages per connection interval in Master control panel.

thank you for the quick response. Just to summarise and to see that I understand, using the nRF51 DK as a peripheral and the Dongle as the central it will support up to 6 packets per connection using the MEFW.10 firmware?
