[quote user="Matskk1994"]Do you have any knowledge of the range, how far it is possible for sensors to stand from the dongle?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;You can refer to this&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/b/blog/posts/nrf52840-dk-range-testing-with-ble-zigbee-and-thread-protocols-at-0-4-and-8dbm-transmit-power-settings"&gt;post&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;for the distance although it&amp;#39;s for nRF52840.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user="Matskk1994"]if it is physically possible to connect / solder an external annenta to the dongle?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;There is no connector, so&amp;nbsp;I guess that you can try to solder on a connector.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As my colleague Bjørn said,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;the nRF52840 and the S140 will support at least 8 concurrent connections. Also see&amp;nbsp;See&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="S140 SoftDevice Specification" href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sds_s140/SDS/s1xx/s140.html?cp=4_7_4_0"&gt;S140 SoftDevice Specification&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It can support up the concurrent central, observer, peripheral, and broadcaster roles with up to 20 concurrent connections along with one Observer and one Broadcaster.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
