How to create Gateway using nrf52840 for BLE mesh

Objective: Develop a BLE mesh application with nRF52840 as a sensor node. The sensor captures various parameters ( Temp, dissolved Oxygen etc.) and communicates them to relay nodes. The ultimate aim is to design a gateway to collect data from these relay nodes and forward it to a server. (I already implemented the sensor server client example. )

Queries:

  1. Gateway Development with nRF52840:

    • Background: I've had some experience with basic examples provided by NRF Connect Desktop, including the BLE mesh chat and light dimmer.
    • Question: Could you guide me on the structured approach to building a gateway using the nRF52840? What are the key considerations and parameters I should be aware of? and what example should I look into to get a basic framework around which I can create this gateway using nrf52840.
  2. Integration with GSM for Cloud Communication:

    • Background: The intention is to forward the data collected by the gateway to a server. A GSM module seems appropriate for this data-forwarding task.
    • Question: How can I integrate the nRF52840-based gateway with a GSM module for data transmission to the server? Could you provide an outline or framework for this integration?

      Thank you for your guidance! I'm still learning in this field, so I appreciate your patience with any basic questions I might have

  • May I ask how you would approach this? I am working on a similar setup and am currently struggling to find the right direction after implementing some BLE Mesh sample codes, such as the server and client. I am using the EC200U and nRF52840 as the BLE Mesh gateway node. Would you be able to provide some reference or guidance so that I can continue working on this project?
