Security level for multiple connections

Question

SDK: 15.3.0 SoftDevice: S132 Device: EYSHJNZWZ (nRF52832) 
 My device is a peripheral. I want to connect with two smartphones. At that time, I want to connect under the following conditions. Smartphone A: LESC disabled Smartphone B: LESC enabled 
 Is it possible? If possible, please tell me how.

Hi 
 Yes, it is possible to have a peripheral connect to more than one central and maintaining both connections. The BLE multiperipheral application in our SDK should give you a good idea of how this can be done. As for the security level, this is generally managed by the central side, so if you configure your peripheral to accept whatever the central requests in terms of security, there shouldn't be any problem to have LESC enabled in one connection and disabled in the other. 
 Best regards,

Hi 
 Experimental libraries and example projects have generally undergone less testing, and have usually been out for a shorter amount of time, so the chance of discovering bugs will be larger although none of the libraries should be assumed to be completely free of bugs. 
 All libraries and examples in the SDK, both experimental and not, are provided "as is", so in the end, it is up to you to test your application sufficiently and confirm that it meets your requirements. 
 The only real "risk" of using an experimental example, is that it is more prone to bugs and deficiencies than others. 
 Best regards,

Hi 
 What sample are you referring to here? The ble_app_multiperipheral has both .hex files and project files in the nRF5 SDK v15.3.0 that I just downloaded. It should be more than sufficient to program the ble_app_multiperipheral_pca10040_s132.hex file onto a DK to make it run.
