Thank you very much for the answer, very good news! :) I will read further and come back if more questions arises. Very happy with this tech support! By the way what do you think about two nRF51 chips on same pcb? Is it possible? Any source or link about this or should I open a new question?

Hi Luis,

Yes, it's possible. You just have to use our S130 softdevice. This softdevice support one central link (where it can be peripheral and connect to a phone) and can do scaning when in connection. It can also have 3 peripheral link where it can be the central and connect to other peripheral, at the same time when it's connected to a phone and do scanning.

Of course, since the radio will be occupied for keeping the connection(s), scanning timeslot will be reduced compare to when having no connection.
