 If we take BLE 4.2 for example, maximum practical throughput is around 100kBps. Does this mean that I can update a service characteristic every 10usec?

[quote user="masterLee"]Does this mean that a characteristic value can be updated at that speed more or less in case of GATT notification?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;No..&amp;nbsp;The speed to update a characteristic depends on the connection interval and the number of notifications that can be send per connection event... Using a larger packet size to get higher throughput.. Kindly take a look at this&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sds_s140/SDS/s1xx/ble_data_throughput/ble_data_throughput.html?cp=4_7_4_0_16"&gt;https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sds_s140/SDS/s1xx/ble_data_throughput/ble_data_throughput.html?cp=4_7_4_0_16&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You could also take a look at the &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fsdk_nrf5_v17.1.0%2Fble_sdk_app_att_mtu.html&amp;amp;cp=8_1_4_2_1_0"&gt;ATT_MTU Throughput example&lt;/a&gt; to get to know how different connection parameters affects the throughput..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best Regards,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;yes I know what throughput is. Also I wrote 100kBps not kbps. But my question remains. Does this mean that a characteristic value can be updated at that speed more or less in case of GATT notification?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How often a BLE characteristic can be updated?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/378320?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Jul 2022 13:15:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:ade183ef-2949-4bee-a3b6-b844e39c6c24</guid><dc:creator>SwRa</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Throughput is the rate of data that is processed and transferred. 100 kbps means that&amp;nbsp;12500 packets(bytes) are&amp;nbsp;being transferred in a second ideally.. You could go through the link provided to get more understanding:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://novelbits.io/bluetooth-5-speed-maximum-throughput/"&gt;novelbits.io/.../&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
