Pairing Latency and Current consumption in Advertising Mode

[DD_connectivity]

Hi,

We are in process of picking the right part from Nordic portfolio and are looking at nRF52 Series parts.

We are looking for best performance in below two aspects:

1) Pairing Latency.

2) Current Consumption during advertising.

Do guide us and share insights on below 2 queries.

a) How long does it take to pair and establish connection where one end will be using Nordic and other will be a mobile phone.

b) How much will be the current consumption during Advertising.

Do propose the best suitable Nordic part which excels in above mentioned aspect.

Thanks.

Hi

This will vary between which kind of pairing method you are using. Seeing as there are quite a few ways to pair two devices, we don't have exact numbers on how long this takes I'm afraid. You can check out the peer manager library for more details on pairing.

In any case, the pairing process itself should not take very long and is estimated to be ~100ms + any extra time like connection intervals, entering passkeys, etc.

Best regards,

Simon
