Hello Hetal,

Unless the OP replies, let's continue this in the new case you've created.

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?

No problem at all Omkar,

I wouldn't say that I contributed that much :) If there is anything else, feel free to open new tickets here! We've always glad to help.

I'm pleased to inform you that I've successfully resolved all the errors and reconstructed a new code and model. This new model can effectively read sensor data and relay it to any designated relay node. For the sensor client, I've developed a specialized code that captures this value and transmits it to the server via Wi-Fi. I've employed the nrf5340 for the server nodes and the nrf7002 for the gateway. Hopefully one day I can able to push my code so everyone can use that. I deeply appreciate the time you took to address my concerns; your guidance was invaluable in this process.
Thank you!

Omkar

You this seems useful. I'll work around this.

Okay, let me explain what I want to achieve and what I'm able to do till now. so consider 4-5 nodes that collect data from the farm or anything that consists of temperature, humidity etc I use nrf52832 as the sensor node and I modify the standard BLE mesh Sensor server to get the data ( https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/bluetooth/mesh/sensor_server/README.html ) now I add relay node so we can increase the range and then all the relay node will send data to one gateway for now I'm able to get data from 3 nodes to one gateway by modifying BLE mesh sensor client. But the thing is now I want to store data on the gateway and relay that to the server/cloud to do that I have two ideas one is to use the latest nrf7002 with wifi-6 or to use nrf8340 with gsm module. so I'm figuring out how to store data and make it like a standard Gateway

Sorry about that, this should be a working link.

Hello Omkar,

so sorry about the wait. Last week was a bit busy.

[quote user=""]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.[/quote]

We have some documentation about various Mesh topics, but I do not think we have any general ones on starting the development.

Could you expand a bit on your network and what this gateway is supposed to do?

[quote user=""]Integration with GSM for Cloud Communication:[/quote]

You can have a look at this. This is gateway solution between normal BLE and Cellular IoT network. We do not have solution for BLE mesh directly, but should be similar.

Hello Elfving,

Any Update regarding the question

BTW I researched a bit on how I can replace any extra hardware(Like the GSM module) from Gateway so that we can send data to the server. So I came across nrf7002 which has an inbuilt wifi-6, BLE mesh. So I was thinking of using that—any input you want to add to this walkaround.

Hello Omkar,

That sounds like a plan! I'll get back to you on this tomorrow.
