 We are now creating a BLE central device which can connect to an BLE peripheral device for some telemetry purpose. 
 To address privacy concern, the BLE peripheral device is design adverting using RPA without previous pairing/bonding witht</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 04 Nov 2022 11:39:03 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/93564/connect-to-a-peripheral-device-advertising-rpa-without-pairing-bonding" /><item><title>RE: Connect to a peripheral device advertising RPA without pairing/bonding</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/394127?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Nov 2022 11:39:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:abad7011-0f0a-4770-9684-4f860e553430</guid><dc:creator>Hung Bui</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Ge Wang,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Could you please let me know the issue you have now with the central connecting to the peripheral running RPA address ?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t see any problem for a central to connect to an advertiser with RPA address. The only limitation is that the central can&amp;#39;t recognize the advertiser/peripheral when connecting next time because the address may change and without an IRK it can&amp;#39;t recognize that it has previously connected.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that you shouldn&amp;#39;t have any problem connecting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
