Running ANT+FE and ANT+FE-C profiles simultaneously

Hi-

We have two products, one using the Nordic nRF52832 micro running the S332 stack, and the other, using the nRF51422 micro running the S310 stack. We have implemented a use case where both the ANT+FE and ANT+FE-C profiles are active. In the S332 implementation, each profile is running on a different channel. Since these profiles have the same message rate, rf frequency, device type and there is only one physical radio, will the quality of data delivery be compromised by collisions over the air (i.e. overlapping messages)? Or is the stack "smart" and schedule the packets so there is no overlap?

Thank you!

While there is no issue from a stack perspective, Please read section 5.4 of the ANT+ Fitness Equipment Device Profile v4.2. It outlines recommendations on how best to support both use-cases.
