Does any softdevice support Mesh, per BLE5?

Hello, I'm pretty sure the new BLE 5 will come out soon and it will integrate the mesh. And if mesh needs to be done at a protocol level, it must be the softdevice.

So, any softdevice so far support mesh? Or at least, any plans?

I'm usre nrf52840 support BLE5.

  • I do agree that 2.4GHz has potential to be good "local" low power networking medium and technologies on top of it are promising. That's why I'm interested into experience of other people in the industry. However so far I haven't seen really usable solution (I do hate this approach when someone does it to my delivery = judging by the worst case experience - but let's be honest it has a point) and no, anything more then few seconds of reliable data transports over 3 hops isn't acceptable for most of indoor applications (at least in my business;)
