Hello,
The default size of 23 bytes is set to maintain a logical mapping between radio packets and ATT packets. In order to send more than 23 bytes of data, the data must be sent in smaller packets and multiple ATT request or if both devices (Like this scenario both KW45), peripheral and central can support increasing the ATT_MTU; make the change of value for gAttMaxMtu_c in both codes (Peripheral and central).
Also take in consideration that during the MTU exchange, both devices would send their maximum MTU to the other, and the minimum of the two is chosen as the new MTU.
This information is from Chapter 5.1.2 MTU exchange in Bluetooth Low Energy Application Developer’s Guide
Best Regards
Luis
