Will there be more peripheral roles in the S130?

[Anne van Rossum]

From the s130 release notes:

GAP

• Concurrent Central, Peripheral, Broadcaster and Observer operation (DRGN-4354).
• Up to 4 simultaneous active connections: up to 3 in the Central role, along with up to 1 in the Peripheral role.

Will there be more peripheral roles supported in one of the next releases? On the moment to implement something like a poor man's version of a mesh network, I can have nodes in my network function in a star topology, and the root can function in a peripheral role as a sink to something out of the network (such as a smartphone). However, I require more peripheral roles, already 2 of them would be a real time saver!

Why would you need more peripheral roles? So that one device can be connected to multiple centrals?

[Anne van Rossum]

Yes. To create a graph topology rather than a tree topology.

The S130 is still an alpha and the question is better suited for one of our sales managers. If you don't know who it is, please send me a PM with your location and I'll put you in contact with the correct one.
