nRF52 support for Thread protocol

[nirk]

Hey,

Can the nRF52 support 'Thread' / '6LoWPAN' protocols in the future?

Can the component support it (PHY wise etc) with the right 'softDevice' stack drivers?

Thanks,

Nir

Hi,

Sorry, we do not have Thread (802.15.4) support. The nRF52832 does not have the necessary RF PHY support.

Best regards, Håkon

So will the nRF52x series be able to support the Bluetooth mesh standard?

Yes. The nRF52 family supports Bluetooth mesh, which is built on BLE. Note that Bluetooth mesh is not yet released.
