BLE maximum datarate

[John Vourvoulakis]

Hi,

We want a throughput between a BLE link 12KBytes/s. In our application there is a peripheral (in Nordic starter kit), running S110 and we have configured connection interval at 7.5ms to support up to 16KBytes/s maximum throughput. There is also a central (in the second board of Nordic starter kit), running S120 with connection interval configured at 7.5ms. SoftDevice 120 refers to a throughput 10Kbits/s for every connected perihperal that is not acceptable at this moment. Is there any way to have greater throughput in this link? Any work around? I have another question. What is the maximum throughput that supports USB dongle PCA10000?

Thank you in advance John

This is unfortunately a limitation with current versions of both S120 and the Master Emulator firmware, as both of them are based on the same code base. They will only do one packet transaction per event, and as you can see from this question, that will limit throughput significantly.

I'd recommend you to get in touch with our sales people to get information on future plans. If you don't have contact information, please send me a PM with your location.

Thank you very much Ole for your reply. In fact this is an intermmediate step, we will not need it for the end product. It would be usefull but it is not critical. Thanks again, John
