 I am developing a product that is a combination of a mobile app and a hardware including an nRF52832. The hardware should notify the mobile app on events as quickly as possible.

[quote user=""]&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;I am wondering if sending all data with the same service &amp;amp; characteristic could help decrease latency?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;No. That&amp;nbsp;won&amp;#39;t help to decrease latency.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Decrease latency -&amp;gt; Set a low connection interval. You should be able to get it down to at least 15ms with most phones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Increase&amp;nbsp;throughput -&amp;gt; Use&amp;nbsp;Data Length Extension (DLE), high&amp;nbsp;ATT MTU size and 2M PHY&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
